I don't run much power, 100 watts max as I live in an apartment building,
but I have had several ethernet ports in my shack computers fail. The last
one since I moved into the apartment. Before that I sometimes ran 500 to
1000 watts if needed. Currently using wifi, but am thinking of going back
to wired ethernet and using chokes like KF7P sells. I have never noticed
any rfi from the wired networks, just that every shack computer eventually
needs a new ethernet port. Other computers and other devices I have had no
problems with.
