How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?

@balooo2 yes I have yet to find any issues with the equipment I have owned for wifi versus ethernet. Wifi actually isolates from electrical interference that can be picked up on ethernet cables some times.

I actually tried a Lumin U1 on a $29 Netgear mini travel router powered by the Lumin USB port and there was absolutely no change in sound from hardwiring it with ethernet. The only difference was being able to ditch a long ethernet cable running along the baseboards.

Even old Wifi N can do up to 450Mbps which would allow for a couple hundred Tidal streams at once in theory.....

Digital data transmission is basically an all or nothing proposition. If you don't have dropouts, hiccups, or pops during playback then the audio data is getting from point A to B intact. There's no logical reason for the sound quality to be different whether you're using a wireless or wired connection.

Let's think about this rationally, if wireless transmission were so fragile, why would you use wi-fi to do even more important stuff like banking online? Why would you trust a wireless system to help you navigate on a highway?

Your time and money is more effectively spent on better headphones / speakers and finding well mastered / engineered releases of your favorite recordings.

@yage You’ve obviously very little experience with various streaming setups and have no idea what you’re talking about.  Go back to ASR where you’ll find many friends and disciples. 

I knew that statement of (no need to run a hard line because wireless is just as good) was coming.  I'll get my popcorn🍿 

If you end up running any wire, I would suggest cat out to a fibre media converter, make the long run to where your dac sits with optical fiber, then use another media converter for optical back to ethernet with a very short, shielded cat 6/7/8 cable.

Should not only “clean up” any analog interference from the router side, but also, as optical isn’t affected over that run from electromagnetic interference, you’d end up with a pretty dang clean signal to the dac.
