That almost always is a switching power supply issue. The normal mode of excitation is differential between the power mains and other cables. My neighbor's system bothered me.

The BEST solution to this is a lightning protection type outlet strip that (if it does not have them) you add capacitors to. I used a system that had F connectors, eithernet, telco, and power.

This is thousands of times more effective than throwing beads at it and just hoping common mode impedances are so low the beads do something.

I recently had an internet wireless antenna/unit installed as our DSL was
painfully slow.

Now I notice RFI in the AM broadcast band and into the 160 meter band.
There may more
RFI issues on other bands however at this point I haven't noticed anything.

I see that Fair-Rate makes a series of "New Low Frequency Suppression Cable
Component
ferrites, though I am not sure what I should purchase.

It looks like that I should be looking for a "certain impedance" for a
particular frequency.

Any help would be appreciated.
