Router for Audio Streaming
OK, I get what you were after, @dougthebiker ... The "square waves" defining the individual bits... In fact they are not and do not need to be square at all. They "just" need to meet specified tolerance windows of high and low values inside a spe...

@dougthebiker , thanks. Digital representation of sound is not by square waves. There are no square waves in digital audio. There are square waves (before filtering) in inverters generating AC from DC but that’s a totally different story. The so...

@ghdprentice , thanks. I am very happy with my streamer (Magna Mano Ultra MkII) and my DAC (RME ADI-2).  The only required action currently is either fix or replace the router since it cannot be controlled.  That's why the post.  Cheers.

@yage :  For whatever it's worth, just ran the netstat command in root - 0 discarded due to badchecksum - this is with my "locked up" Netgear.  Below is the relevant subsection (not the whole dump again...). 77680 window update packets 10349 pac...

P.S., to all the good folks here, please narrow/tweak your recommendations if possible to wireless solutions only. I have no easy way or desire to run a cable from my router to my streamer or use powerline - I understand this may be presenting a t...

Thank you, @daledeee1 !  Indeed, OCD and never satisfied can be potentially joy robbing so I am trying to avoid it.  For the time being it will be wifi - that's a hard constraint for now.  I may be trying 2 different wifi solutions, a "conventiona...

Folks, so much good input!! Thank you all!  I will look into most of these suggestions. One point to keep in mind:  Bypassing wifi altogether in my situation is not a practical solution.  I am pretty much stuck with wifi considering the amount of...

@soix , thanks.  I guess in that case using a mesh network like a TP-Link Decco, as several folks are recommending, and connecting the streamer via cable to one of the nodes would be even better, no?

Folks, thanks a bunch for all the great input: @yage :  Ooops, thanks.  Not sure how to go about it but will try. @soix and @riccitone :  Interesting!  But how/why does an extender help? It itself is getting the signal on wifi. I've had good sig...

@elliottbnewcombjr , thanks!  That's exactly what I've done, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts.

Thank you, @yage !  I ran the 'netstat -s' command and I see a bunch of lines in the TCP section but no '... discarded for bad checksum'.  What segment of time does this command cover? For whatever it's worth, in the UTP section I get:     39630...

Thank you, @kota1 and @lollipopguild !  All good inputs!  
Router for Audio Streaming
And thank you, @yage !  And thank you also for the links!  No, I have not looked into unbricking etc...  Fascinating stuff but not sure I'm up to diving into it. On the other hand, if the router is a brick the worst is buying a new one, which obvi...
