Actually, I used to just use an 8-port wireless router with my ISP's WAN connection (I have fiber to the home). I read about the GS105 switch over a year ago and installed it then. So, I have used the switch with it's standard PS connected to that WiFi router to isolate the streamer from the WiFi router's ports.
At the time I added the switch, I didn't feel it did anything special on it's own but I kept it in play. And, honestly, I had totally forgotten it was a Netgear GS105 - I just remembered that I had added a switch and not much changed.
Fast forward to looking at Alpha Audio's website praising the Netgeter GS108 switch. When I looked at my switch I was surprised it was the GS105. So, it seemed all I needed to get was a better power supply.
I ordered the IFI 12v PS and when I plugged it in BAM - immediate improvement. Not subtle.
