IIRC you mentioned this also in another thread a few weeks ago. Maybe I miss something but why are you held hostage to a router which makes you use USB not ID41? Surely there are straight forward options to add a switch or handle routing duties without causing streaming issues ? I tried both USB and ID41 in my 808 and ID41 was the clear winner.

I took advice years ago to avoid USB in the chain, as this could be a source of noise on the/my network. Seems as we are not comparing eggs with eggs here.
