[seaharp1]

Hi,

 

I need help choosing a new router for my microrendu/sonic transporter 8TB (completely full) AP version with Roon 260,000 tracks/files.Currently using 3 year old Asus RT-AC66U which may have to be replaced because of poor performance.

 

Prefer to stay with Asus brand.

 

Thanks,

 

Larry

Hi Larry. Two of the best rated performers are the ASUS RT-AC88U Wireless-AC3100 Dual Band Gigabit Router and NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router (R7000).

When selecting a router for audio purposes should we necessarily look for the best performing routers in general ? I have two Asus routers and I have to say that I like the interface and I find it very user friendly, but they also need 19v. What about smaller routers that are low powered, maybe they are better for audio but not the best performers overall (especially if you stream HD video and do a lot of gaming). I really like to read thoughts of more experienced and technical guys than myself

I have not conducted these kinds of tests. Most people (including me) are using typical routers found on the market or provided by the cable company. Some are going crazy and trying all sorts of gear, but I don't get into that.
