My Netgear WNDR4300 seems unperturbed by QRO 160 > 6.  200ft underground 
to the cable modem and several runs around the shop.  With the two 
router hops I am getting 60Mb/sec over 802.11 link to pc per 
speedtest.net.  Every cable has a #31 choke with 2 turns, but that is 
insurance for my Rx RFI (not verified).
