Noise from NAS power supply

Last weeks I've installed my first Xanura modules (SAIX12 & DAIX12). After a couple of days I've found out that not alle modules are responding very well. With my PMIX35 I analysed that the problems are caused by the power supply (similar to a notebook PS) from my Lacie NAS. This was installed in the 'meterkast'.
When I remove the PS all results are 'Geslaagd'. When I use the PS most of the module aren't found or say 'Controleer'.
Because I don't want to remove the NAS from the 'meterkast' I think I have to use a filter.

Can anybody give me an advise which filters give good results?
On the forum I read different solutions. Perhaps somebody had the same problem with a Lacie and can give me a hint.

I just use the FM10 filter and they work as expected. Power supplies are most common X10 disturbers. Just use the filter and you're problems are gone (for mow.....)

Is there a significant difference between the FM10 and the AFX2 from Xanura? There almost the same price. Due to the fact that I have only problems with the Xanura modules I wonder if the AFX2 would be better?

Both filters are based on passive components .... inside the Eaton filter is just a coil - in the FM10 is a splitt coil with a resistor see other entry on the filter topic....
No idea which one will be the best ...... . and how easy and effecive it will be to build your own .... see Conrad 534455

YES! Placed a FM10 between the power supply of the NAS and the power outlet and did the PMIX35 network validation again.
Alle devices are 'geslaagd'.
Problem solved!
