I recently replaced the cheapo power supply on my Asus mesh router node with a 19v medical grade brick. You'll need an adapter as well, both links below. I was getting a pulsating noise when streaming music, and found that the Asus was the source of it. FWIW, changing the power supply did absolutely nothing, I ended up moving the router out of the room and I use wifi now instead of having my streamer hardwired.

Had to look up what mesh router node is. I appreciate the fwiw… that’s why I’m here soliciting opinions. My place is small…. 1,600 sq ft… so one asus handles everything just fine.

Forgot to say thanks, will study in a bit. You found this to be a quiet enough ps?

That is very helpful to hear! So in your opinion, it would be worthwhile increasing my budget of $100?

Hi Nick,

I am sorry that your reply escaped me.  My sincere apologies.
I'm running a 12v power supply (from ebay - with a talema core).  In my room and to my ears it is well worth the $100 or so.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up buying an adjustable 19-20v unit here on AC. The only problem is the adapter I bought doesn’t fit the ASUS router.
