Bluesound node 2i question

Thanks in advance everyone !  Ready to buy one of these so I called a store in town to see if they have it in stock.  The sales person asked about my router/modem and I told him I use the router supplied by my internet carrier: Century Link.  When I told him I would be connecting to it via WiFi the salesman proceeded to tell me that I would have drop-outs and other issues I really didn’t understand...I’m a newbie to this as I’ve collected records for decades.  My question:  is anybody using a bluesound node 2i with the basic set-up received from your internet carrier ?  How does it work ?  He obviously could have gone ahead and sold me one, so his warning has slowed me to a stop...
stereo i plan on using it with:
Mesa Tigris amp
coincident conquest speakers

oh, and. I still love my Allnic 1201 phono pre and Funk LSD turntable..😏

Yes, I'm using the Node 2 connected by wifi to my Fios system router which is upstairs. Most of the time the streaming is excellent, uninterrupted. Occasionally though I do get dropouts or sometimes the music just stops. However, in defense of the Bluesound streamer, I ALSO get freezups and dropouts on my TV which is hardwired via 75 ohm cable to the Verizon set top box. So, I can't blame the Node 2 or my router if the TV is doing the same. Verizon has been of little help so far.

I think you'll be fine with a good quality high-speed router.

Best, Fred
