We have a single broadband line coming into our house and would like to ensure optimum performance or two different applications running simultaneously: a) streaming video on demand (Amazon Instant Prime) to two TVs; and b) streaming on-line music services (+files from NAS) to the hi-fi. Connections have to be wi-fi not wired.
Is the best solution to run two separate wi-fi routers somehow connected to a single modem or is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks.

if you want to create a network between your dev and a source then dont worry about dual routers.
It does take some learning but create a second subnet on your router and connect the dev and mac on a dedicated switch.
for instance if your current home network is 192.168.1.1 then the second subnet will be 192.168.2.1 which only your mac mini and devialet exist on.
the mac mini would be 192.168.2.1 and the dev 192.168.2.2.
if you create the second subnet with a gateway to your router it will still have access to the internet but no other devices on your network will be able to see or communicate with the devialet which means that the dedicated switch wont have any traffic going through it except the traffic from the mac and dev.

It would be great to have a guide to setting this up. I had been running Ethernet AIR direct on a second subnet, but it created havoc when I added Sonos to my main network. I probably had something misconfigured, given that I'm no network engineer. And now that I'm using Ethernet AIR through my access point, I'm getting choppy noise during long listening sessions. Sigh.

can you explain how it created havoc when you added sonos?
if we know what is happening there could be a solution.
