New wireless hub/router


This road has been traveled before, but maybe some new info for others to share.

I currently have  hardwired internet from road to house to my streamer (Innuos).

Works great, no issues. Now provider is offering its wireless hub to replace my 10 year old router. What can I expect? Most of what I have read here indicates hardwired is the way to go. I will be having a sit down with the salesman shortly and would like to have some arrows in my quill. Thanks.

The new router should have at least four Ethernet ports on it in addition to adding WiFi capability. So provided the new router is located in the same location, no change, you will just now have WiFi all over the house.

In general, high quality streamers isolate you from the network and therefore can work optimally from an extender, but if you are close, definitely direct wire your streamer.
