Pimping your router


1. Use a wired router only
2. If wireless router is needed, separate router for wifi
3. only streamer, NOTHING ELSE connected 
4. use LPS to feed router
5. use shortest possible quality cable to streamer
6. use Acoustic Revive RLT-1 filter on spare router or streamer port
7. wrap router and LPS in EMI/RFI shielding material
8. use EMO EN70-HD filter near streamer for ethernet connection
9. use quality shielded cable between router and internet access point

All of these will individually improve your streaming SQ, in aggregate the effect is significant
Enjoy the music

Does anyone recommend a coax filter for my Verizon FIOS network? Is it even necessary?

@brenn : I have Verizon FIOS too, with the G3100 (Home Router), but I have no idea what the coax filter is. Are you talking about a Point of Entry (POE) MOCA filter? I doubt that will do anything for audio. Not sure if it’s necessary at all for anything, as you actually have fiber going to your FIOS ONT, not coax
