Well - Just as a follow up - Some time over the weekend this silly box started blowing its brains out completely. The wireless functions stopped working - even weirder - the wireless configuration options disappeared from the menus. I've read this complaint from other people. So I gave up - it had a LOT of functionality and was really cheap -but it appears that at least the one I had was a POS. I boxed it up, it's going back to Amazon today.
