Network Router UEF
The Synergistic Research Network Router UEF is a dedicated high-performance network router designed specifically for digital audio and music-streaming systems. It creates an isolated network for your audio components, separating them from everyday network traffic generated by computers, smart TVs, smartphones, appliances, and other connected devices.
The Network Router UEF combines a high-performance router circuit with Synergistic Research technologies including UEF technology, active electromagnetic conditioning, a custom linear power supply, ULF generation, and a passive ground conditioner. The electronics are housed in a precision-machined solid billet aluminum chassis with carbon-fiber construction and vibration-control features.
Designed for plug-and-play installation, the router connects to your existing network through its IN port, while compatible audio components or an Ethernet switch connect to its network ports. For maximum performance, Synergistic Research recommends pairing the Network Router UEF with the SR Ethernet Switch UEF.
The Network Router UEF does not include built-in Wi-Fi. If wireless connectivity is required, a separate Wi-Fi access point should be connected to the Network Router UEF.
The 110V USA version includes a 5-foot Foundation 12AWG AC power cable and an SR Pink Fuse.

Q&A:
Who needs a Network Router UEF?
Any Audiophile streaming music or using digital sources that require an ethernet connection.
What does a Network Router UEF do?
The Network Router UEF creates an isolated network specifically designed for your audio system, separate from your smart devices, TVs, appliances, etc.
How does a Network Router UEF work?
The Network Router UEF utilizes a combination of advanced SR technologies and components to enhance its performance. It begins with a high-performance router circuit, which is integrated into a chassis made of billet aluminum and carbon fiber. The chassis is further enhanced with carbon fiber footers for vibration control. Internally, the router is equipped with an SR Linear Power Supply (similar to an SR LPS UEF), an Electromagnetic conditioning cell (similar to a Tranquility Pod), a ULF generator (similar to an FEQ Carbon), and a passive ground conditioner (similar to an SR Ground Block). Finally, the unit undergoes high voltage conditioning treatments and is fine-tuned using SR Carbon Tuning Discs placed strategically in specific locations inside.
Does the Network Router UEF have built-in WiFi?
The Synergistic Research Network Router UEF does not include internal WiFi functionality. This deliberate omission ensures optimal performance by keeping the WiFi signal isolated from the Network Router. If your system requires a wireless connection (phone, tablet, etc.), it is necessary to connect a separate access point to the SR Network Router UEF. Two easy to set up recommendations are the TP-Link EAP610 and NETGEAR WiFi 6 Access Point (WAX214)
Do I still need an SR Ethernet Switch UEF when using a Network Router UEF?
For achieving the highest performance, we highly recommend utilizing both the Network Router UEF and an SR Ethernet Switch UEF together. Although the Network Router can be used to connect your components directly, the SR Network Router UEF and Ethernet Switch UEF are designed to do two different functions. The Network Router UEF creates an isolated network specifically designed for your audio system, separate from your smart devices, TVs, appliances, etc. While the SR Ethernet Switch UEF is designed to regenerate and duplicate the signal generated by the Network Router UEF. By combining the functionalities of both devices, you can attain the ultimate digital playback experience.
Is the Network Router UEF difficult to install?
The Network Router UEF has been designed and configured to provide a plug-and-play experience, making the installation process as straightforward as possible. Here are the steps to follow:
- Connect your existing network (modem, router, or switch) to the “IN” port on the Network Router UEF.
- Next, connect either your switch (recommended) or your components directly to the Network Router UEF.
- If WiFi is required, set up and connect a WiFi access point to the Network Router UEF, and then connect your WiFi device to the access point.
