Router for Audio Streaming
@pcrhkr , I'm with you. UPS is a good idea. Have been considering one for a while. Which one do you have/recommend? Had quite several good years of use from my Bluesound Node 2.  It developed the known red LED issue but kept running fine.  Ended ...

@oldrooney , wanted to get back to you. Very cool streamer, the Aries! We listen to Pandora, Spotify and Qobuz, and I spent quite a bit of time looking for a wifi streamer that would support all three and replace my two existing streamers - Squee...

P.S., the TP-Link X60 I have here ready to be returned is Wifi 6, but not tri-band.

@yage , thanks again.  I have no Wifi 6 compatible devices at this point.  I will definitely keep your points in mind.  As you recall the original conversation started with the query about sound quality (referring to continuous distortion level, n...

Thank you, @nmolnar !! It is awesome to synthesize inputs from our expert panel!  This is the beauty of this forum. I will look into the M9.

P.S., just to confirm my understanding: the tri-band mesh has a wireless backhaul which does not rob bandwidth from the devices and does not need ethernet backhaul, correct?  
Router for Audio Streaming
@yage , thanks! I am really trying to avoid running ethernet wires -- no easy way to do it in this house cleanly and cheaply. Maybe a mesh system is an overkill in our situation? There is one line I ran from the router (ground floor) to my wife’s ...

@nmolnar , thank you.  I'm inclined to follow your advice.  Will report outcome.

@nmolnar , thank you for this!  Duly noted! My Netgear is from late 2018, and just got its firmware update.  It has been and is performing fine.  Our house is not very big and we do not experience drops while roaming around with mobile devices, b...

Thank you, @yage !  It was very helpful.  That dump was before fixing the router.  I can only assume that nothing changed for the worse.  Thanks again! @teknorob23, no worries!  
Router for Audio Streaming
@cakyol , thanks.  I have been streaming audio over wifi for over 10 years, more than 3 with the current router.  My streamer requires 2.4GHz.  As I mentioned a few posts up I have around 10 devices on the same network and do not have issues.  Sou... 
Router for Audio Streaming
Well... good news and bad news. The bad news first: I won't be able to use yet any of the good advice collected here. The good news:  Contrary to the Netgear horror stories I was able to hard-reset and update my current router and all is well.  S...

@brunomarcs , sorry for encroaching on your lofty audio forum. I think I made it very clear what my parameters, constraints and reasoning are. And I received a wide range of very good advice here, both wifi and wired. There is more than one way ... 
Router for Audio Streaming
Hello @teknorob23 , Please refer to my original post. I am focusing on the router because it is broken. Everything else is fine. I am simply inquiring whether there is obvious opportunity for any sound quality improvement in case I need to replac...
