This can be plugged into the router or the streamer. My guess is it would be better plugged into the router if you have a well shielded ethernet cable.
Won't make any difference. Ethernet does not lose any bits. Stream goes literally via hundreds of switches, converters, routers, coax, fiber, satellite links and nothing ever gets lost.
