Ability to share some content is limited; Subject to authorization from the content owner or service provider and network device capability. Verified devices and services will vary; Check for desired features/functionality. May require TV tuner card and/or remote which may be sold separately. Instant on/off feature works after initial boot, when activated. System performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Intel’s network setup software currently only supports DHCP (“Always On”) and PPPoE broadband connectivity protocols. PPPoA, PPtP, and other protocols require use of router manufacturer’s network setup software. Check verified router specifications against Internet provider requirements before purchasing.
