Will BiPac 7800DXL support Pioneer N-50 Network Audio Player

[gigabits]

Hi All, first post.
I've just got one of the above but my Home Hub 3 (unsurprisingly) doesn't support a USB connection to it. I want to switch to the Billion BiPAC 7800DXL as it has had v.g. reviews. But before I do...

Will the Billion BiPAC 7800DXL support the Pioneer N-50 Network Audio Player?

Appreciate any help you can give.
Jim

How does your Pioneer N-50 Network Audio Player connect normally?? Does it use a USB connection or a ethernet connection or a wireless connection??

Thanks for your reply.

I can use Ethernet and Airplay.

Unfortunately Airplay is temperamental and drops out fairly regularly for some reason and I then have to re-boot the N-50. Ethernet, i.e., the "Music Server" option is a pain because of the small screen and the search being clunky and time consuming.

I'm hoping the USB, ie., the "Dig in USB" option will give me a consistent connection.

Incidentally, I am planning to upgrade my router/modem anyway, so I thought it would be best to get one that supports the N-50.

I don;t think the 7800DX will support the N-50 via a usb connection, it only support hard drives, printers and 3G/4G dongles
