Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System

Total noob with this side of stereo and streaming, so hope I don't annoy anyone with simple questions.

Is it better to have both the cable modem and the wifi router as close to your equipment as possible, or should the two be separated some distance?

I've always had them next to each other in the basement, and mainly use wifi but I want to move towards wire cabling from basement to the stereo (ethernet?) and then contend with it from there. 

It seems like a more expensive GigaFOILv4 

@mitch2 no not at all the OPT bridge is fiber optic conversion/isolation. The Gigafoil is and expensive version of galvanic isolatior like the Ever Star products. 

No?

There is not a consensus regarding this. Some very knowledgeable audio streamers advocate close proximity to the audio system and others advocate remote separation.Both sides report excellent sonic outcomes. Once again, implementation is key.

The GigaFOILv4–INLINE is the newest generation of the FOIL™ brand of Ethernet filters. Based on patented Fiber Optic Isolation Link (“FOIL”) technology, the GigaFOILv4–INLINE utilizes fiber optics and specially designed circuitry to prevent 99.99999999% of electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) from passing through the filter. The filter covers a frequency range of below 14kHz to beyond 18GHz and does not require a passband, meaning the only signal passing through the filter is the clean digital Ethernet signal.

FOIL = Fiber Optic Isolation Link
