Hint:  Change your Wi-Fi frequency to avoid interference with neighbors router
@erik_squires neither TP or Asus are high end brands.    you need to look at the higher end of brands that play in the small to medium size business side of things to get quality RF monitoring. or go enterprise grade with juniper, extreme, or my... 
Hint:  Change your Wi-Fi frequency to avoid interference with neighbors router
@erik_squires higher end consumer, including some of the mesh ones, and enterprise grade continuously monitor the environment and switch channels as needed.   
Hint:  Change your Wi-Fi frequency to avoid interference with neighbors router
Or get a bit higher end that automatically analyze the RF environment and pick a channel that is free.    @erik_squires  auto is supposed to mean that it picks the channel with the cleanest RF, however, you are correct, lower end just somewhat ra... 
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@thyname well, the article is way off the mark. Especially the first paragraph where it says it applies to all digital connections. What they are talking about can apply under some circumstances to asynchronous digital connections without error de...

@kennyc while I personally don’t like Cisco, you can typically find cheap Ciscos on eBay, like the 2960G mentioned above. the current version of my switches are Juniper EX2300-C https://www.juniper.net/us/en/products/switches/ex-series/ex2300-c-...

@dbastin of course the digital signal is transmitted using analog electrical signal over copper, however, it doesn’t change that it is digital, and noise floor only is relevant to make sure that the frame made it across intact. It is pretty simpl...

Meant to say impacting not improving SQ.    here is a very high level overview of how networking works:       
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@thyname at a high level, yes, there is nothing you can do. If you have a low quality switch, you will lose packets if you load it, that will impact sound quality. If you tape anything generating magnetic fields to the Ethernet cable, you will lik... 
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@sns you are applying ANALOG terms to a digital connection. Completely irrelevant. Noise floor in Ethernet only means did it transmit a clear enough signal to discern a 1 or a 0, and did the frame add up in the end to match the CRC check. so, for...

@vinylvalet  I did, on the first page, somewhere below the middle.

@fastfreight as I am sure you are aware, Cat8 has better shielding than Cat6/a, so if you are worried about interference, good choice. just don’t attach batteries to them to try and introduce interference! :)

@jerrybj not my opinion, facts. You don’t have to take that into consideration, for sure, but do not call my knowledge opinions. That is offensive when you make up stuff to do that is in the manual for every Ethernet based device NOT to do.   
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
The amount of things you guys are trying is astonishing. But none of it works, and a lot of it is counter to how Ethernet works. For instance, for audio listening (not two way like voip), latency is irrelevant. The change in latency matters howeve...

@bd  no, adding to fix a bad link in the chain never works. Remove the crap out of the chain instead.    basically you are saying that using your iPhone DAC and source into another significantly better DAC will fix the issues with the phone DAC. ...

@wsrrsw going to and from optical involves signal conversion. While I subscribe to that you should not be able to hear any difference from an audiophile switch compared to an enterprise switch, similarly if everything works ok, you shouldn’t notic...
