I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming

Something I should add to my story for folks who don't think that everything can matter. As far as I know my wifi was just fine but we got a notice from Xfinity that they wanted to come out and address some issue that could lead to a future outage. Never heard that before but said ok and made the appt. The guy comes out and all he did was change out the coaxial cable from the splitter that divides modem and cable box. I was previously getting speeds in the 60-80 mb range after the change of cable always over 200 just now measured 261 mbps a radical and unexpected improvement!

Another vote for the Netgear Nighthawk router.  When I moved back to the big city, the wife ordered Spectrum. As soon as it was installed, I unhooked their wireless router and put in the Nighthawk.  The wife can watch all the TV she wants and I can stream all the Hi-Rez tunes I want.

Congratulations, great improvement.

After switching to their router/modem (from a top of the line Netgear Nighthawk) last month we final got the 1,200mb we have been paying for for years. Last night the movie kept stoping as the speed was at 12mb and dropped to three or less repeatedly. 

Hello @jmfinney ,

Regarding your Verizon Fios G-3100 router, I had difficulty matching the barrel size of the DC cable from LPS that I tried to power the router with. Seemed like DC plug was closest to 2.8mm but not exactly. Do you know what size barrel the plug is? I may try the LPS again. 

I too tried unsuccessfully to find the correct DC barrel plug for my LPS.  So  I told Verizon that my AC adapter was defective and got them to send me another one.  I had Joe Kubala cut this one off and make me a new DC cable.  Not ideal but better than the wall wart!  

@bipod72 Thank You for the instruction, I will be making a provision for something that is working towards this type of set up.

This is an interesting area of conversation, as usually the Source Material for replaying recorded music comes of what can be described as an obsolete Hard Medium.

The Source Material that has Superseded the use of Hard Medium, is transferred as data (data packets) through the Internet.

The Internet is substantial in how it is used, and functions superbly for most needs,, but when it comes to supplying data that can be interpreted as a Quality suitable for Audio purposes, especially in the sub sector of Audiophile Quality. There is seemingly a lot to consider to ensure the data packets are able to be received as uncompromised as possible to achieve.

After reading a few methods for what can be done within the home, is there any things to be considered to ensure the data getting to the home arrives as a optimised date packet?

As I initially intend on producing FLAC Files to be used as the source material, I believe the upstream of FLAC Storage is addressed in the suggestions offered so far.

Streaming Source Material is not of the menu, it will be something that is evolved onto.
