Roberts WM-201 Internet Radio (Oakridge RG21)

This belonged to a relative who passed away and has unfortunately sat unused for best part of ten years. Cosmetically it’s in excellent condition. I believe it's fully working, but when I briefly tried to use it, but hit two issues:

1. I don’t believe it supports WPA2 WiFi.

2. When connected via Ethernet, it gives some sort of 'DNS error' mesage. From some further research, I gather it was designed to connect to a service called Receiva - which was shut down a couple of years ago. Internet searches indicate there may be ways to resurrect at least some form of streaming using ether a custom firmware (Sharpfin) or DNS redirect via e.g. a PiHole.

In addition to wifi and ethernet, it has Line-in, line-out and headphone socket. Note that it does not have USB or DAB /DAB+/FM.

For a radio of it’s size, it’s got a punchy sound when tested via line-in.

Comes with remote and instruction manual.

I have too many other projects on the go, so need to let it go.
