It is extremely unlikely that a PC, even one of the fastest ones, will ever outperform a well designed modem/router. Those devices employ special purpose hardware which utilize TCAM lookups at hardware speeds and encrypt/decrypt hardware, which no PC is ever likely to match, unless the said PCs also have them, which i have not seen any of yet.
Improving Comcast modem signal
Our internet service is Xfinity/Comcast or Verizon. Currently I have Comcast service and use their modem because I had trouble with Netgear modem compatibility with Comcast. The problem is that the Comcast modem doesn’t allow LPS. I don’t know about the Verizon modem. So, for people with modem tweaking experience, any suggestions that will make a notable improvement?
The modem is connected via house Ethernet cable to EtherRegen in my listening room, which is connected to Lumin X1 streamer via fiber optic listening room.

@chungjh iFi has product that fits between a power supply and component: DC iPurifier2. Site says that it supports "5-24v DC (up to 3.5A, 84W)." I might try it for myself. It's already pretty affordable by HiFi standards, but if you don't like the results when using it with your router, you can always place it on another component where it has a greater benefit. I'm considering trying it for myself. iFi even advertises using it with a low noise power supply. Might be worth a shot
