Just got a NAD m10, but it doesn't seem to have WIFI, it came with a usb dongle?

I just installed my new M10,,  I had sort of naively assumed it also came with wifi support. (I get ethernet would be best, but still).

I discussed this with the retailer, who said it would do hi quality spotify and tidal if your Wifi is adquate.  

But for the live of me I cannot find a wifi setup on the device. 

It came with an usb dongle, which looks like a  wifi dongle.  But where o where can I set it up in the menu?

Have naively assumed it to have wifi?  , or is cabled ethernet the only option.

Kidna bummed, this was the most expensive piece of audio gear I've ever bought and even the USB stick manual doesn't even tell me what the dongle is?  or how to progress through basic setup.. (other than the speakers)

    Hi Tomas

    The Quick Setup Guide should direct you to use the BluOS App to set up your player. Please also see www.bluesound.com/setup - this includes the NAD M10. You can also use the App, under Help or e-mail support@bluos.net

    alright you need to do this thru the BlueSound app.  But really it should tell you this anywhere in the box, or on the usb manual.. still no clue what that dongle is, assume for the Dirac.   Will figure out..

    I kinda assumed the device OS would have a wifi setup, but yeh the app solved it.. 

    The dongle I was talking about was for the Dirac microphone it turned out.. or I am doing the Dirac Live thru it and it seems to work.. 

    This is assuming from the jack in on the dongle ;).   
    Really this should be just a step by step instruction on a leaflet..

    To be clear with the box came 

    1 usb stick with copies of the paper lealfets
    2 an usb dongle
    4 a m10 internet update guidelines leaflet. fairly this shows you need to use the mobile app, but upgrading isn't a quick start.
    5.A dirac leaflet
    6.An a M10 bluOS streaming leaflet, that contains (except the model nr and the text " quick setup guide") , literal zero text or prompts to install the app, it actually barely contains any words whatsoever.  It shows a picture of the dongle and microphone but doesn't even name them..  

    It kinda makes me feel kinda dumb (I've got a Masters in Interaction  Design, but an art degree is worth bupkiss anyways, so perhaps I should concede this one). 

    anwyays, the device is beautiful, and after I get this dirac live app to stop crashing, the sounds gonna be stellar ;) 

    but all in all, first impressions.....not perfect.
