I have an extensive MP3 music library, and currently stream form my PC to a Squeezebox on my HiFi, and use BubbleUPNP to stream to my android TV box and my android alarm clock.
I am in the market for a new router, probably a low-end AC router at around the $100 price point. I was looking into these routers, and saw that most of them have built in DLNA servers.
I was thinking tha If I could connect a Hard drive to the router then long term I could add a UPNP renderer (Chromecast Audio??) to my HiFi, get rid of the Squeezebox (which is now not supported), and stream music directly from the router. Then I would not need to have my PC on every time I want to listen to some music.
Does anyone have any experience with these DLNA servers built into a router? Do they work well? Are they underpowered?
Which router has the best DLNA server?
Note that I just need music streaming, I have other solutions for movies.
