Hi,
I’m looking for a decent linear power supply 12V - 2.5A to power a Netgear EX7000 I’m using to bring the Ethernet from the router to my hifi cabinet.
Any ideas of a good one suitable for this purpose without spending a fortune?
Say <$500...

Edit: the amperage required is 2.5A not 5A as I initially indicated...

Just for a router, that's expensive.

Yeah zero zone has a number of Ps in the 100-200$ range.
I also read a review on one of their models and it was not bad, but obviously they are not very known so I believe there is a degree of risk there.

Interesting.
But yeah at that price I can almost get a SOtM sPS-500 which is one hell of a PS, probably an overkill to use on an extender.
What I could do in that case is to use the sPS-500 on the headphone amplifier and shift the Sbooster to the WiFi extender.

I'm using this one on my $2500 DAC. Its on 24/7. I have no problem at all.

I'm using the 15VDC, 5.3A. They have a 12VDC, 6A. It doesn't even get warm. The R-core transformer is dead quiet.

Another budget option. You can contact them for custom 12V/5A option, I believe.price is around $150-200

If it will be powered on 24/7, let them know. You don't want it to fail from heat.

rs 273-1667 is perfect for this trust me. you will have to also get the right tip. no longer made. ebay. lasts forever pretty much. just ask if working. I am not kidding does not look like much but perfect for this. a $500 psu on a router is a complete waste. this has noise, ripple, offset etc similar to those $500 units anyways. I use one to power my custom made(myself) usb purifier that will blow ifi , microrendu away. so good enough for that. on 24/7 14 years so far. previously in different application.

Good point.
I'm now looking at this inexpensive LPS in the assumption that it will inject less noise in the whole system compared to the stock Netgear PSU.

EDIT: ...and also this ONE which has the same R-Core you mentioned...

In the first post I had mistakenly indicated 12V - 5A while the extender requires only 12V - 2.5A.
Too bad the ifi i power outputs only 1.8A otherwise it would have been the perfect solution!
