I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming

@pindac Correct. So from your central model to your primary router you would have the single run. Then split off from there to another router. Each router either dedicated to wi-fi & data and the other to streaming/hi-fi duties. The other thing is that my wife works from home and having a separate wi-fi network for the data usage means less lag when I want to stream music since it's on its own network. 

Time Warner was nearly the death of me and then we moved and Comcast was worse.

A somewhat germain remark to add here...I heard a while back ago that Time Warner, Comcast, Verizon, etc. had a lower approval rating than congress. That still true?  

Hello Fastfreight,

Regarding your Verizon Fios G-3100 router, I had difficulty matching the barrel size of the DC cable from LPS that I tried to power the router with. Seemed like DC plug was closest to 2.8mm but not exactly. Do you know what size barrel the plug is? I may try the LPS again. 

Based on my experience what worked for me has been:

1. Put audiophile grade network switch in front of your streamer - I use LHY8

2. Put the best network cable between the audiophile switch and streamer - I use Revelation Audio Labs cable. totally awesome cable, imo

3. Use very good power cords for both the streamer / switch and feed good electricity

4. use non-audiophile grade switches to avoid using a long ethernet cables. by doing this, it lowers noise I found. 

5. If you had something like Synergistic Research Pod, put it on top of non-audiophile switch. It smooths the sound. I use one and it has made definitive improvement

Something I should add to my story for folks who don't think that everything can matter. As far as I know my wifi was just fine but we got a notice from Xfinity that they wanted to come out and address some issue that could lead to a future outage. Never heard that before but said ok and made the appt. The guy comes out and all he did was change out the coaxial cable from the splitter that divides modem and cable box. I was previously getting speeds in the 60-80 mb range after the change of cable always over 200 just now measured 261 mbps a radical and unexpected improvement!
