Hi.
For those of u who are into streaming. Here comes another suggestion.
The suggestion is not new though, still IMO worth to be repeated.
Instead of using (numerous) (DIY-) LAN cables (with $20 Telegaertners) or e.g. fiber cabling, you hook up your streamer to a standalone router which acts as a WLAN client on your WLAN network. At around $20 the fun starts!
E.g. - TP-Link devices can be configured as router, hotspot, repeater, client or accesspoint. Client mode is what we're looking at.
Usually u can power above from a 5V supply. Make sure u can!
You might hookup your battery (e.g. Anker) phone charger.
That'll give u 100% galvanic isolation from that side.
Of course u should use a rather short LAN cable from the streaming client to the router/wlan client. Best approach would be to go for a modified version as e.g. suggested by Ryelands.
The whole approach avoids the internal WLAN options of your streamer of choice on purpose!
Enjoy.

I can't comment on streaming but can confirm from experience that the Anker is not as good a power source SQ-wise for switches (and presumably for routers) as the UpTone LPS-1. OTOH, it works very well for all that and is, of course, a fraction of the price. Recommendation endorsed. (Avoid EasyAcc here.)
In my system, isolating with Anker "batteries" also sounded better than a fibre-optic link & media converters. I've tried several 10/100 switches: all work fine on 5v supplies. Presumably, the same is true of small Gigabit devices.

I know that an Anker is not as good as a quality supply.
I wouldn't and I do not use it in my main system.
However. It's usually better then a wall-wart.
The UPTONE IMO is total overkill.
