Modem
and router for audio?
March

Marc,
You
may have an answer to this -- I recall you have a tech. background. My router/modem combo
is the unit provided by my ISP, Verizon. Is a Netgear or other brand better, as opposed to
the Verizon unit, for audio? Naturally my underlying thought is the effect, if any, on
streaming.

Your
modem and router provide the connection and access to data, so there should be little or
no effect on sound quality, as long as they are fast enough to provide the necessary
throughput. You can probably buy a newer, faster modem and router than the ones you get
from Verizon, and if you buy your own, you will own them, so you won't have to rent. I
bought mine from Costco, which sells high-quality tech. and often doubles the warranty.
Just be sure whatever model(s) you buy work with Verizon's service. There's probably a
list of approved products on their website. -Marc Mickelson
