Is 7 feet way from wifi access point (ceiling) to stereo risky for noise?


For my stereo system, I have 2 seperete power lines running to keep no noise in my system. It's important for me to have that black background in the sound. 

I want to get a Unifi router system with a wifi access point that mounts in the ceiling. The cieling type gives a donut type of signal through out the house. With the way my house is (kind of like a shoe box), my stereo is in the middle of the house. The wifi access point would also have to go near there... probably like 7 feet away. Is that risky in inducing noise into my stereo system?

I very much doubt it. Don't have experience with this particular Wifi hardware, also run an Eero mesh. The only thing to note is that inside a house, the wifi reach is MUCH reduced. A single wifi point may not be enough for the entire house. I think we have 6 eero repeaters in a 2 story 3.5K sqlt home, plus some for outdoor and greenhouse.
The only thing that ever made an audible difference was a T5HO aquarium light fixture, which introduced crazy static on a tube HP system that no cable could fix. Yes, tried a bunch.

no.

7 feet or 17 feet is fine. Just try a speed test from various locations and you will find zero degradation.

Minimum 3ft between wifi router and components and cables. I use EERO 6e Pro mesh network and it’s excellent. You can use a high quality switch to help you place the router further away for components 

Also - do not use same circuit for your system and network components  the switch mode power supplies used with routers a d switches will pollute your AC line  

  

Thanks... I work in IT and all the engineers recommend unifi. It's what we use in our offices to. It's on a prosumer level for home users also. This is the access point I would have on my ceiliing. Pair it with one of their gateway routers which give superior performance. No more random rejections.

I forgot to add I use a linear power supply (5 volt LPS) to power the EERO Mesh node near my stereo which is connected with an ethernet cable.  In fact, I use multiple LPS to power all my 5 volt stereo components.  All my stereo components & EERO mesh node are on the same AC circuit all going through the same Shunyata MPC-12 power conditioner.
