REVIEW: The best yet most affordable network switch (TPLink WR902AC)

I'm a new member and I have a new Gustard R30. I have a situation that makes it difficult to hardwire via ethernet, so I have been using wireless to my streamer. Could you please share the directions with me for step by step set instructions including the software tuning options for the TPLink WR902AC?
Thanks,

Hi Ted!

Please let us know how it works out in your system!

Is anyone with a Taiko Olympus or Taiko I/O using the TPLink router directly into the Taiko gear (i.e., not using a Taiko Router or Taiko Switch)? If so, are you using a transceiver in Taiko's SFP cage to auto-negotiate the speed difference between the TPLink (100mbps) and the Taiko Olympus or I/O (1000mbps)? If so:

1) Do you like what you are hearing and have you compared this setup to an alternative setup that includes the Taiko Router and/or Switch in the chain?
2) What brand/model transceiver are you using?

For what it's worth...

I haven't researched it, but there might be multiple versions of the Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 in use. I bought mine here in the Netherlands. The user manual states that the mini-USB and USB-C are only used to charge the power bank, not as an output to power the TPLink WR902AC.

So keep this in mind when purchasing your cable if you plan to buy one separately. I bought this one myself: https://artsexcellence.com/audioquest-forest-micro-usb.html.

I'll probably receive it tomorrow and report back later to see if it offers any improvement over the thin cable that comes with it.
Have you tried AudioQuest cables yet? Have there been any improvements? I'm also very interested in their cables. Does anyone have any other brand recommendations?
