I would first order a new one from Amazon or Best Buy before I tried a factory reset.
Good, compare, keep or return new one.
Bad, new one at your fingertips!
Router for Audio Streaming
I have been streaming Pandora, Spotify and Qobuz through a wifi network streamer from a Netgear AC1750 R6400v2 router with no sound quality complaints.
Recently a router firmware update failed (a known issue with these) and as a result it is no longer accessible for administration. It still seems to perform ok and accepts new devices however the network settings are "frozen" and I am unable to view device IP addresses or traffic, neither via desktop browser nor via the Nighthawk app.
I will try a factory reset but have read that quite often this does not work in these situations, so I started investigating getting a new router to be able to pull the trigger quickly if needed.
I heard/read that routers can make a difference in sound quality, beyond just being able to keep up with streaming with no buffering. I'm wondering what router experience and recommendations folks have here for reliable audio streaming with superior sound quality at a reasonable price.
Thanks!
It appears those are network stats for UDP (user datagram protocol). It's another protocol that's used in conjunction with IP, usually for applications that don't require reliable data transmission. The TCP section should be the first displayed. You can try the command 'netstat -s | less'. The vertical line before less is the pipe character (hold shift and press the backslash key). You can now scroll through the output with arrow or pgup / pgdn keys. Here's an example of output for the TCP section when I run netstat -s as root on my Mac (output truncated for length):
Here's the columns of output of netstat -i for my wi-fi adapter showing Ethernet stats:
Ierrs shows how many errors the wi-fi adapter encountered out of the number under Ipkts received.

@yage , thanks! Here is the tcp dump: tcp: All zeroes. Is that good or bad?? 😳 |
@elliottbnewcombjr , thanks! That's exactly what I've done, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts. |
