    Thanks Audio Bomber The EtherRegen is used, so no problems there. Will use a Plixir Elite LPS with it. I have a Cisco SG110D switch with a Fidelity Audio C4Mk2 clock installed. Thinking of putting that between my modem and router (Asus RT AX86U Pro). Was then planning to place an Acoustic...

    Finally dug into the settings of the TP Link RE650 wifi extender. It's now only receiving the 2.4 GHz signal from the router. And no wifi signal broadcasting from it. Will only have ethernet signal coming from it to my system. Looking forward to hearing how this affects playback.

    Probably not. The harm may be less than my current setup. [Hoping for]... a noticeable improvement. Edit: I'm not sure what I was meaning. Sounds a bit dismissive; not the intention. That's better. Remove the first statement.

    My system is further down the chain. If the means had ever presented itself, I'm sure parts would have been upgraded more regularly. From this perspective, I'm expecting my move up to the K21 to be a big step, and an excellent end point. Even using its server/player functions. My thinking is by...

    If using powerline, some form of LAN filter on both ends would be a good idea. Recently bought two DXE Iso Plus for this purpose. https://www.hamradio.co.uk/dx-engineering-iso-plus-ethernet-rf-filters-dxe-iso-plus-2-pd-10944

    I picked up a cheap Uptone Audio EtherRegen yesterday. Could help soothe some of the noise, post wifi extender.

    I like the probability of improved SQ by limiting the extender to receive only. Makes sense. I know it will have a cheapish SMPS. But isolators before and after may improve things. Will try putting a re-clocked switch between my modem and wifi router. See what that does. And have bought a...

    I'm curious as to the performance of my wifi extender. Perhaps an idea to replace my TP Link RE650? So, two questions: 1. Are there better performing wifi extenders 2. If I replaced with another router (as extender) to pair with my Asus RT-AX86U Pro, what to buy? With the second router (if...

    I'm planning to get an EtherRegen Gen 2 when it is released (hopefully August this year). Place that between my wifi extender and streamer.

    I'm unsure which one of these would suit the K21? PM893 3.84T SATA MZ7L33T8HBLT-00B7C PM893 2.5 3.84T SATA MZ7L33T8HBLT-00A07
