Today I repurposed a PS Audio ($50.00) receptacle outlet I had to the cheap Home Depot receptacle in my mechanical room where my Arris Surfboard 10/100/1000 modem resides.
It may be a coincidence but things got quieter, will need to validate this.
I have a better than cheap distribution ($75?) plugged into the PS Audio receptacle, and from the power cable into the first receptacle is a PS Audio Noise Harvester ($75.00), then a Shunyata plug in conditioner ($199.00) then the Nordost Red Dawn ($400) feeding a Keces P8 ($699) that runs Ghent Gotham cables ($100 each) to the modem and switch. I use Audio Quest Vodka RJ45s until the AQVox SE switch.
Very happy with these results, and posting this for people to think about the front end and how you can go at in pieces.
Starting over, I would change the outlet first, where I did this dead last.
It all matters has been has been my experience and none of this is anywhere near the crazy costs once you get into the music room where the 2 channel resides.
