Jerry…I am using 50FT LinkUp Cat 8 - 22AWG LAN cable from Amazon. The 22AWG version is pretty stiff so no sharp bends. The 26AWG version is more flexible.

+1, @fastfreight Instead of purchasing mass produced modem/switch that is not designed specifically for audio streaming…keep your Comcast/Infinity and add a high quality switch that specifically design for audio to filter noise. Consider adding Network Acoustics Muon Pro Filter between your comcast/infinity modem and your streamer. I am using a Telegartner Gold Switch with LPS and haven’t felt the need to upgrade in over 3 years. |
WOW! I didn’t realize that you’re using Switch X in series with Gold and Muon Pro. When my Apple routers started to cause dropouts, I went with 50FT LinkUp CAT8 22AWG LAN between my Comcast/Infinity modem and Gold switch. No issues since this transition, even when I’m streaming DSD files that requires very stable network. The direct hard wired connection also ensures zero compromises and less clutter in my space. I also upgraded my network speed to 1Gb/s. |
I can see why you couldn’t see Roon Core connected directly to the modem. I bet, if you connect Roon Core to the wireless router / network, you will have no trouble seeing all the devices in your ecosystem operating flawlessly. I have taken a single feed from my Comcast modem to my switch which then feeds my three connected devices (DAC, Streamer and Content Server). |
