Hello,

I bought this internet radio and it works really well, plus the sound is pretty good for a little cube!

I just have one issue, it's supposed to be able to search for my music on a computer via the wifi network of my live box. I can share files between my different computers, but the radio can't do it.

I don't see anything in network favorites despite UPnP being enabled....... HELP

Thank you
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 8.0

    I have the same radio and it reads files from my PC without any problem!
    The only requirement is to install a media server (Orb for example: http://www.orb.com/en/download_orb) on the computer and specify the folders to share.
    Then, just go to the radio in "Media Player" > "Shared Media". The radio will then display the name of your PC; you just need to press "Select" to access all your shared files.

      I installed and configured Orb but there's still nothing on the radio! Is there maybe a problem with the Livebox?

      I tested it on a Livebox too, and there weren't any particular issues, so I don't think it's coming from your box...
      Yesterday, I even tested the radio over powerline, and it worked like a charm!
      Did you connect the radio via Wi-Fi or by cable?
      When you go to "Shared Media," does nothing show up?
      It's true that at first it's not necessarily obvious, and I know that Medion's customer service was a great help for me to get my bearings at the beginning! ^^

      When I select shared media it says "loading instantly" and... after 2 hours I turned it off and it finds nothing yet I configured orb for that, now I see nothing, did you configure anything else elsewhere? Thank you.

      It worked! I installed your version of orb on another PC and now it's working! Thank you very much for your response! Amazing!

      Hello, I just bought this radio, it's simply amazing and in terms of value for money compared to other similar models, I think it's the best.
      I want to give a big thank you to the forum "Comment ça marche" and Ichi Go thanks to which I could access all my tracks via my PC in addition to the already very numerous web radios.
      Finally, the music I love everywhere in the house. Pure happiness.
      I'm running on Windows XP Pro.
      Merry Christmas to all and thanks again for the help and your contributions.

    Did you manage to read your files on the shared network from your PC?

      No, not yet, and since Medion isn't a big brand, I don't think it will ever work, but as a radio, it's not bad.

      The only imperative is to install a media server (like Orb for example: http://www.orb.com/en/download_orb) on the computer and specify the folders to share.
      Then simply go to the radio in "Media Player" > "Shared Media". The radio will then display the name of your PC, you just need to press "Select" to access all your shared files.

      Thanks to Ichi Go for the tip!

    Have you thought about calling Médion support
    They are effective for everything PC-related, so why not for radios?....
    I am considering purchasing this item, so the resolution of your issue interests me
    Good luck

    Hello,

    I haven't found the solution to your problem yet, but I would like to know how you manage to store more than 10 stations in memory so that you can recall them with the remote control?

    I can't seem to save more than 9 stations in memory and it's impossible to reach Hyson's customer service?
    Thank you

      Unfortunately yes, a maximum of 10 stations, and the problem of transmitting from the radio to the PC is still not resolved... even the customer service doesn't know!

      A ridiculous brand for customer service!

      acer 3634,

      thank you for your response
      yet on the box, they indicate that we can program 99 radios!

      is your Medion radio the same as my HYpson radio?

      do you have the customer service phone number?

      thank you

      Hello,
      I bought a Medion radio with Wi-Fi, but when I enter the WEP key and validate, it displays "connection failed."
      Has anyone encountered this problem? Do I need to put dashes or something else for each space in the WEP key?
      Thank you.

      Non, no space between, everything should follow, however depending on your wifi box provider, do not forget the "assignment" button (live box orange) before validating the entry key on the radio.

    1) Set up Internet Radio
    2) Press the Menu button
    3) Select Help
    4) Choose access code
    5) Access code appears on the display (e.g. SWFFVM)
    6) www.wifiradio-frontier.com
    7) Register with access code, email address, and password
    8) All stations can be managed there, favorites, etc.

    Regards, negros

    Hello acer3634, I'm planning to buy the same radio, my concern is to know if it will pick up my favorite station, this radio: https://www.hot97.com/onair/ it's streaming so it should be fine, right? If you could try and let me know if you can receive it, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

    Hello Cyril,

    I found your favorite station on the Medion, searching by genre "hip hop" and "all worldwide stations," and Hot 97 FM. So you can buy it!

      Otherwise, are you happy with it? The integrated software for web radios is Frontier Silicon, I believe? It's a shame I haven't found any real reviews for this radio or videos that would show the navigation in the menus.

      I honestly don't know what software is used, but for its price you can buy it, the sound is very good, I can read the files via WiFi from my computer, it also has an alarm function, and you can connect it to a stereo system at worst as a tuner.

      Yes, the price is correct compared to the Noxon iRadio Cube of the same style (cube shape), and the models that are really more technical with a color screen or even a touchscreen are still too expensive... as long as the screen is of good quality and readable, and I plan to connect it to a 2.1 PC speaker kit, so the original sound is not really important. Thank you for your answers ;-)

    Hello everyone, I bought the Medion radio (md 86062) and everything seems to work well except for the internet station search............. it's impossible to find a single radio channel.
    The radio tells me that I am connected to my Wi-Fi, but it doesn't help, it performs a search and after 3 seconds it asks me to try again because it hasn't found anything.
    Thank you in advance.
    Fred.
