WI-FI ROUTERS and Modems. BEST!! brand and why.

With more &more Audio streaming going on. Now with Tidal and MQA and Hi Rez play back

on your Streamer/ Dac's  devices, some going to 25K+ and up.

The question to those who have tried various brands routers that pass the Wi-Fi on or Ethernet connected to your streamer. Anyone found by trail that could suggest ones with the best fidelity.

Work with someone who specializes in designing, installing and servicing network and audio systems.  Cisco, Meraki and Ubiquiti work well depending on the scale of the home and system.  For the money that some of you are investing in audio hardware, you owe it to yourself to get a high quality network.

As I have mentioned before, seriously consider properly installed fiber.  We use fiber all the time for audio and network integration systems with wonderful success.  Systems sound and operate better on fiber.

We have recently installed some Ubiquiti AmpliFi HD mesh networks that have been working well for clients using Apple AirPlay and Roon Core based systems.

We still recommmend a properly installed fiber network for those of you wanting the best solution, but for affordable mesh networks, the AmpliFi HD is a nice system.
