Hi. I have a Netgear R7000 Night Hawk and an Orbi Mesh Router (RBR50 Router and a RBS50 Satellite). I want to run all of them in sync, preferably with one SSID. I currently have a cable modem with the wifi turned off, going into the Orbi Router and the R7000 as an access point. That setup forces me ...

The normal 3.5mm headphone jacks are analog, they will not work.
There is a newer type 3.5mm toshlink/optical plug that can be converted to regular optical toshlink... But the older headphone 3.5mm wont work.

What about this?

That's what I was thinking. So I should sacrifice capacity and go with the faster write speeds of the 64gb cards.

The capacity of flash media is not what determines read/write speeds. You need to look at what class it is.
