the_doc735 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I have a Zyxel VMG3925 B10B router with built in 4 port switch. Is this good enough for audiophile usage or should I consider a separate (cisco/tp link) switch? thanks in advance! Link to comment

If you feel something missing, you can always upgrade later. Dirk It is in use all the time, wired, wireless & internet (LOL) Cheers! ...just wondering about those audiophile OCXO switches?

And this over the most crappy 100Mbps ethernet lan, that unfortunately I cannot pull new cable for (old cat5 category, due distance 1Ghz ethernet not sustainable) But as it is sounding great, I am not bothered with it (unless technical problems would arise in the future) Dirk fancy ethernet cables; that's a whole other contentious issue too! At the moment just using standard cat 6/7 myself. cheers! Link to comment

the_doc735 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 12 hours ago, Dr Tone said: Yes. ....but! ~ That router has EVERYTHING in my home network running through it as well as control for the HiFi. Don't I need some sort of separate point of control for the HiFi? i.e. something just for HiFi alone and dedicated to that particular task? Cheers! Link to comment

Curious if you have you ever tried the Netgear with a LPSU versus the Cisco with it's internal PSU? OP: I have a Zyxel VMG3925 B10B router with built in 4 port switch.
