I subscribe to the notion that small upgrades/improvements are cumulative.
In my situation I stream wirelessly to a wifi extender, then run an Ethernet cable to my switch/streamer. Recent purchase being an LHY AS6 switch before my streamer with SR purple fuse (replacing an Uptone EtherRegen). Old house, and haven’t yet got the Ethernet cable (Blue Jeans) installed under the house. You could try an Ethernet cable from your mesh to your streamer? A possibility?
