Ethernet source

I'm trying, somewhat desparetely, to improve the sound quality of streaming which presently I wouldn't even say is up to cd quality, even though I,ve been streaming hi-res files on qobuz.  My streaming device is a Sonore ultrarendu.  I,m limited in terms of Ethernet access where my system is located.  I,ve been using a net gear power line device to obtain Ethernet off of 120v circuitry.  There is, however,
an Ethernet port on my tv cable box.  Would I be better off using that as opposed to the net gear?

Mike, I,m using the DAC on my Mbl CD player.  My modem is about 30' away from my stereo, pretty far, IMO..  There could another option and that is I noticed an Ethernet port on the Verizon controller in my garage.  I would have to have it activated (presently it,s off) and I,m assuming its an output not input.  I could poke thru the wall and install an outlet fairly easily.  
Defintely looking into wifi mesh and wifi extenders.

Well, I just tried using a wifi repeater and noticed no improvement (or degradation) of sound quality.  Next step is a phone call to Verizon.  It probably wouldn't hurt to switch out the modem As it's almost 9 years old.  At the same time I,m going to talk to them about activating the Ethernet port on the controller.
