I have 2 high end streaming systems in my home, one is hardwired and the other uses a WiFi extender. My streamers are a Grimm Audio MU1 and Aurender W20SE. My network uses a Netgear Mesh router and 2 extenders. The WiFi Mesh extender is hardwired to an Innous PhoenixNet and then my MU1 > Bricasti M1S2 DAC. The Aurender W20SE is hardwired through an Etherregen switch to the Mesh main router. The DAC is a Holo May KTE. Both systems sound great. I highly recommend a Mesh WiFi network system.
