ETHERNET CABLES

Here's a quote from an article on Mesh:

There are some benefits to a wired installation. Any wireless form of communication is susceptible to speed slowdowns due to obstacles like walls, floors, doors, and building material; however, some are affected more than others. When using cables, you bypass all obstacles, resulting in faster speeds throughout the entire home.

What is a Mesh Network and How Does it Work?

Thanks for posting the article.

I would check out Amazon for mesh system, you need atleast two pods. One act as a router directly hardwired into your Verizon router and other pod as satellite which is going to sit next to your Zenith. I have the exact setup except I’m still using apple routers.

As far filter goes, check out Network Acoustics, they make two passive filters namely Muon and ENO which goes between your router and Zenith. Read up on threads started by @grannyring on Muon and ENO. I’ve had ENO in my system and loved it. My system is listed in virtual system, just click on my username and click on Digital. Also check out posts by @audphile1 and his system for insight on ENO. While not cheap, it’s worth every penny and comes with 30 days money back guarantee, in case you don’t find it worthwhile. I recommend you buy ENO package which comes with amazing Ethernet cable on both ends. 

Thanks so much for the information.

Sam, it just dawn on me. Can you not move your Verizon Fios router near Zenith and avoid buying mesh wifi system? Unlike conventional routers from AT&T that are typically ‘chained’ to wall phone line or cable outlet, Verizon Fios is truly a wireless router which should have two RJ45 outputs for devices that need wired connectivity. 

Hello Lalitk:

Thanks for getting back to me. My Verizon Fios router is located in my living room  of my house right next to my television. There is a Verizon extender located right above on the second floor which feeds my computer. My audio system is located in a Florida room which is off the living room. Currently I have a 35 foot eithernet cable coming off the router and going to my Innuos. If I move the router next to my audio system, I will have to use a longer ethernet cable to connect the TV and I am not sure if the extender on the above floor will work. Based on this, do you think moving the router close to Innuos is a good idea?

Thanks,

Sam
