Which External Linear PSU Upgrade for my Router?

I'd like to upgrade the wall wart PSU on my Netgear Nighthawk RAX50v2 router to a linear PSU. 

The output is 12v, 2.5A 30W

I'm looking at a LHY Audio one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005350110413.html

But i'd like to know what else is out there. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks @antigrunge2 , it seems at 12v it outputs only 1.9A. Is that going to be enough when it needs 2.5A?

The Ferrum Hypsos is $2k down here at the arse end of the planet. Is the improvement worth that?

I bought a linear PSU from AliExpress costing me AUD $400. Let's just the difference wasn't subtle. Very positive and far exceeded what i paid for it. 

Then i upgraded the DC cable to the Ediscreation. Again, a very positive change.
