Something many Wifi users do not realize, is that you may get better wifi reception in your domain if you have the ability to lower the wifi radio transmission power. Default out of the box is usually FULL power radio which broadcasts your network to all your next door neighbors who can clog up your radio channels regardless if they are not logged into your SSID. Sounds counterintuitive, I know. As a demonstration, go add a Wifi device to your network, how many SSID's can you see...that is all your neighbors at full throttle wifi power. If you can see them, they are causing congestion on your wifi network. Take down their names and go knock on their doors and tell them to "TURN IT DOWN" :)
I run my wifi power at 50% (12 dBm out of 24 dBm), sometimes less depending how close my equipment is to the router/wifi. Yes, reception distance will suffer but channel congestion will be better and your wifi signal will be more reliable. I also reduce my channel width for the 5 Ghz network to 40 Mhz which also makes it less possible for other devices to share and clog it up.
Wifi can be tricky to get tuned just right and most streamer users just go with default and complain about the device/vendor for bad streaming. I have never had a problem with Auralic or any other wifi streaming device like my Apple TV 4K.
