It's both standalone and streaming. It comes with a 6GHz Wifi dongle; 6GHz has low penetration so using it in different rooms is iffy. But if you have a good 6GHz mesh setup it might work?

It's worth noting that the meme of "it was DNS", including the haiku[0], is from the old school sysadmin world, which has a lot more terrible DNS implementations than modern stuff (especially including Active Directory which
