Hi Jim. I must be lucky, on this issue for now. I hear nothing or almost nothing (sounds like one faint one on one frequency I found on the ham bands) with my wired network disconnected. That is one thing that motivated me as I tried disconnecting mine long ago. I guess I stated "hopefully" due to possibly a neighbor coming along at some point  and hooking up a wired system..... I am guessing most everyone around, for now, is using wireless as well.

Modem is at one end of the house but put the router on the ceiling at the middle of the house with CAT6 shielded yesterday (already had the cable and power wire run in the attic). Nothing heard out of that. Just a matter of getting these VOMET WIFI gizmos working on my PC and a old HP laserjet (and checking that for birdies). I still have the old network hooked up for now with the new router going through it until I get everything setup. My wifes PC, Win 10, had WIFI built in so it was easy. Roku's, laptops, should be easy too as they worked on the old WIFI fine.

I have 12v run from one of my Astrons through some diodes and their own fuses mounted on some perf board. Need to do same for 5v via 7805 for these VOMET devices and eliminate those wallwarts ( neater and possibly eliminate any rfi there).

I wish power line noise was as easily under my control..........

Anxious to work on it but have to mow the yard today or I will have to bail it, lol.

On another note, I did get a new router in and some WIFI links. Going to abandon my wired system and hopefully get rid of those birdies.

You'll get rid of your own, but you'll still hear your neighbor's wired Ethernet. Each router has it's own clock.
