Do you have to subscribe to something to be able to use this radio?

To use sirusXM, spotify, you do. However, there are 1000s, of radio stations you can connect to for free. You use the radio knob just like a regular radio and find stations. You can search by genre, name, location and it's well worth it even if you don't subscribe to any music subscriptions. I use mine just about everyday and I'm very satisfied.

Does it it connect through wifi of all carriers ?

It connects to your home's WiFi like any other wireless networking device. Your internet provider is not relevant. It does not connect to your mobile carrier.

presets remain empty even as message says that station was saved. Software up to date. Did I receive a radio that was returned for that reason?

It’s not connected to the internet

How far away can I place this radio from my router? I was told no more than 10 feet from router.

Our router is probably 15 to 20 feet from the radio. Router is on back porch, so blocked by wall/door. We have moved the radio into the living area, which must be over 30 feet away and no problems. (Note: we bought the battery so we can use the radio not plugged in in other rooms).
