The Node 2i compared favorably to an expensive streamer. Great to know. I’m psyched!I will definitely think about the Ethernet. Thanks for your advice.
As far as the Eero router, is this the one you are talking about?

Just plug it into an outlet, or outlet on a power conditioner, and it will acquire the Wifi signal from my upstairs AT&T modem?
Then a very good Ethernet cable from Eero to Node 2i? If so, that is easy enough...
As far as LPU’s go, Fidelity Audio makes the Node 2i PSU interface and LPS’s of varying quality and costs. Maybe I’ll consider those. Or at least their LPS’s...I read on HiFiWigwam that the Fidelity Audio gear is very good.
If I can pick your brain again, as far as an Ethernet switch, I tried reading up on it and I’m not too adept at figuring it out. Being that I don’t play internet games, stream 4K video(I have a Plasma TV), or transfer large files do I really need an Ethernet network switch?
The only thing I’d be connecting to the Eero is the Node 2i..... My Dish Satellite box has an Ethernet port but I’m not certain what it would gain from an internet connection as I have the new Chromecast for YouTube and Netflix etc if I cared to subscribe...
Currently, I have a wall wart type thing plugged into an outlet behind my equipment rack that has a phone jack in it and the connected phone line connects to my Dish box for upgrades and upgrading the schedule.
Since the Eero has a 2nd available Ethernet port, maybe an Ethernet cable from the Eero to the Dish box would do the same as the phone connection for updates and schedule updates and would replace a phone line connection?
Thanks again.
