@keithc First off thank you for sharing this with all of us here at WBF, and the instructions were very easy to follow. I just finished setting the my TP Link up in my system and my initial impressions are very positive. I may be eliminating several boxes and power supplies from my system. I have always been a subscriber to the less is more theory in audio. Will be swapping out boxes to determine what is the best combinations for my tastes and systems. Again thank you so much and Merry Christmas.

Congrats! I'm glad it worked for you. What were the noticeable sonic changes in your system?
What was your digital chain before, and what is it now? I think there's much to be discovered as to where to put the TPLink in the chain, what matters before or after it, etc.
And this is just with the TPLink and Anker that you bought off Amazon! Just like other audio products on this site, my guess is that most people just want to buy something and plug it in; only a small fraction of folks would be willing to do significant DIY/modding. As such I hope we can keep this thread focused on the commercially-available WR902AC and power solutions...
Since Keith requested me to not sharing DIY approach with hardware mods, I'll respect his request in this thread and won't disclose how hardware modification will affect this project.
However, I still recommend to pick WR802N model over WR902AC. It doesn't make sense to buy WR902AC and turn off 5GHz and USB output so it can work like WR802N version. You can just buy WR802N model and have 5GHz and USB feature removed by default. It will have less internal noise and sound even better. This can be done on software configuration without hardware changes.
