Hi Steve,

thanks for your concern.

The router I have is from 2011, and I don't think AC was introduced until about 2013, so most likely it is running on the n band.

No, my SSID is not hidden.

So, if properly set up, and not using the AA hotspot, the AA at home/office should be on the home/office wi-fi network, and music can be streamed wirelessly from one's device/computer. One should be able to use the internet while this is happening, which one can't while in hotspot mode. Is this correct?
