I abandoned my wired network in favor of wifi per Jims suggestion. Fought shielded cables, toroids, different equipment etc for years on and off trying to mitigate the hf rfi. Still hear some very weak signals from same birdie frequencies but nothing like I use too. Probably from some distant neighbors. My hillbilly reasoning is that the ethernet was spewing signals for great distances as well as wifi so became a lot less concerned for any increase in security of ethernet vs wifi and the new wifi, by some reading i did, seems very secure due to modern techniques. All working great. Cable internet so we stream movies with ease.

Suggestions Please.

Wired Ethernet has birdies that are hard to avoid without shielded cables, as well as broadband noise on 2M. Would WiFi work for you? I've used nothing but WiFi since about 2004, first in Chicago, and here in NorCal after 2005.
