If you're planning not to use AIR at all, then I'd suggest you focus on getting the Melco working as you want it to. Since it's streaming from its internal storage to the Devialet via USB, I'd assume the network connection is only used for control. In that case personally I wouldn't be looking first at replacing your router because that could be quite a bit of effort, might cause unrelated problems, and in any case might not be the cause of the drop-outs or stutters you've heard with the Melco.
Either way, if the Melco is going to be your main source, I think you need to get your retailer to make it work to your satisfaction if it doesn't already. Personally I wouldn't accept at face value their comment that the problems "could be your router" unless they were able to give you some more detail about why they'd come to that conclusion and what specifically was needed to solve the problem; otherwise it sounds too much like an off-the-top-of-the head cop-out.
