Topband: RFI from router/switch

[William Hein, AA6TT]

I have tracked down broadband RFI problem (S9 on 160m, S7 on 80m) to a Linksys BEFSR81 EtherFast Cable/DSL Router & 8-port Ethernet switch that I recently purchased to allow multiple computers to access my Starband satellite Internet modem.

I switched to shielded CAT5e cables.  That helped a little.

What else can I try?  Ferrite beads?  If so, what type and other particulars might help out?

All suggestions welcome.  I need the multiple computer Internet access provided by the router, however I'd sure like less noise on the low bands.
