It will drop into hotspot mode without WiFi connection. You set it up via the menu into hotspot mode to connect a phone or pc then setup the WiFi. How well it copes with switching I can’t say.

When doing the setup or changing the setup, how is your computer connected to the FiiO? Could you change this when away from home with a different (hotspot) network? Or, is this the part you don’t know?
The FiiO is only connectable via its inbuilt WiFi hotspot which is only active when it’s not connected to a WiFi network or via its network port. So in your case you need a device running your shared hotspot for internet over WiFi and another to connect to it. You could use your phone or laptop.
Most devices these days use a hotspot for your phone, tablet or pc to connect to them to perform the basic setup. There is no direct connection to pc. The menu on the device is basic it allows you to set input output options, dim the display turn off the illuminated logo which changes color based on sample rate. First thing I turned off. It has a network setting that activates the WiFi hotspot and that’s about it. You then on the device connected to the hotpot enter an ip and then chose the WiFi network to connect to. It’s all in the booklet they provide.

Have used it for almost 4 months, super happy with its performance.
Properly powered by 5v output from LPS ( w/ Verbatim Sync & Charge USB-A to Type C Cable), using a lan cable which is more expensive than the streamer itself. If the official roon ready firmware releases soon that will be icing on the cake.
Mine came with firmware version 1.93. I know version 1.74 has the beta DLNA ability.
Does 2.26 also allow DLNA compatibility?
Lastly, the Roon partners page list the SR11 as Roon Ready. Has it been certified?
Haven’t got it hooked up yet.
Thanks!
No you have to request DLNA from support. Only
Got mine last weekend it’s not Roon Ready as SR11 shows as M17 DAP currently so is usable just not recognised as SR11.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Currently on version 1.93 If I install 1.74 that gets DLNA ability. If I then install 2.26 for wifi improvements does that wipe ou the DLNA ability fro 1.74?
Thanks!
