Basic switch....should I upgrade?

@wsrrsw you should always have security. Too much shit going on to trust your network provider to catch all. 

Audiosciencereview doesn‘t listen, measures the wrong things and is frightfully opinionated

The best way to demonstrate lack of experience - and lack of understanding of audio component synergy - on an audiophile forum is to cite ASR. It’s like reading a book written by an actuary on how to have a relationship.

I am slightly cornfused. My internet comes into the house and goes to the Spectrum modem, then to a Netgear router. Are you not using a router and going straight to a network switch, or am I missing something? 

Thanks.

In a closet away from stereo I have a StartLink modem feeding a ubiquity router that feeds via in wall cat 5 to several switches elsewhere in house. D Link switch for stereo will be gone.
l have tried direct into steamer and into steamer using the EtherRegen. The EtherRegen definitely better.
