The primary reason they might not allow it to work with a hub is that a
hub is a shared network with a single collision domain.

This means that other devices chatting on the hub would potentially
interfere with the audio delivery resulting in dropouts, pauses, etc.

They might have discovered in their in house testing that it simply
wasn't adequate although this seems suspicious to me since devices like
Slingbox that consume far more bandwidth are more than capable of using
these types of power/ethernet extenders.

So, as others suggest I would get in touch with Slim and ask them to
fix this.

For the record, your home network extender that uses power is almost
certainly a hub and not a switch.
