Servers: Are we there yet?

I found several years ago that pulling the power on my internet modem/router made a significant difference in my systems sound, like from real good to live music. 
And, if you can't take TV out of the room put a heavy blanket over it, not as big a deal but a difference .

Not only is it dependent on your wireless (or wired) system,it also needs a top quality modem and router.  Also, the quality and speed of your ISP is a major factor.

Just went through all of this.  Started with using wireless, but because of dropouts, switched to a hardwired CAT6A (STP) and solved all of my drop out issues.  Then upped my speed from Comcast.  Haven't had any issues since.

I don't believe that the N100 has wireless capability.  It  has a gigabit ethernet port instead.  I think it's more correct to state that many music servers require access to the internet to utilize them to their fullest.

@pasg, what high-end server did you get that requires wireless?

Mattmiller,

The assertion that "Any HI END Server, NEEDS to be connected directly to the router via a cat 5" is not correct.  You can have a high performance, hi-end server that includes its own drive (blu-ray or otherwise) for directly burning music to a local drive - no internet connection required.  A "streamer," on the other hand, requires a network connection, such as via cat 5 cable or otherwise.  (This is an issue that frustrates me to no end, with a number of products out there nowadays that are nothing more than "streamers," with no ability to rip and store their own data, masquerading as "servers").  

Psag - echoing djohnson54's comment, what is your server and what are you hoping to accomplish?
