Gigabit Ethernet Required?

[alice]

Using currently a wireless bridge with 100Mbps ethernet ports to connect to a Netgear GS105 switch to further isolate the network noise.

Connection from there is to a UltraRendu and then to a DAC using USB.

 

The question I had was whether there was any benefit with upgrading the wireless bridge to something with 1Gbps ethernet ports.

I currently don't experience any delays or lags with my music playback.

No benefit I can think of.

I would leave well enough alone.

An increase of speed alone is likely to make no difference. Music is not a demanding transfer.

I’ve seen the increase in speed actually cause issues with endpoints that can’t handle 1Gbps worth of data. Not saying it would happen in this case, but it does happen.

Thanks guys.
