Need Wired Ethernet Access but Noisy Extender

Current setup - Roon core on Mac mini in other room - microRendu fed by Wi-Fi extender’s wired ethernet cable into Denafrips Terminator ii. Finding it noisy with the extender on the same circuit as my rig. I don’t have the option to run ethernet from my router directly. Am I out of options? Or is there an alternative? Linear power supply for extender?

What ethernet wire are you using?

Wire above 6a should have a ground wire, which should help with noise. Though your equipment should allow it to be effective.

Using Cat 5e. I'll order a better cable to see if that helps.

I have the Linksys Velop Mesh Network in my house, with 4 nodes. Covers 4000sf+ and the lawn, garage, neighbors houses, etc.! Each node has an ethernet port. I've used the ethernet port attached to the node that is furthest fron my cable modem. Works great. Gets full bandwith as indicated by speedtest.

I run my garage/outdoor system off of the furthest Orbi mesh node out of four - works great.  My main system I hardwire (with fiber) just because.
