Connect cable modem/router to different circuit than audio?


I just got some reversed polarity outlets in my listening room fixed and have a much closer plug for my gear.
I cannot (yet) do a dedicated line. Up to today, my cable modem was plugged into this circuit. There is a way I could put that on a circuit  apart from my audio if it had the potential to add significant noise. Is that something to worry about or would it not matter much? FYI, my wife's office lights, computer, monitors are on this circuit and there are some light cans, too. Just wondering if the router/modem is an especially big source of noise into the circuit?

Thanks for any opinions.

@lowrider57  Thanks. I woke up this morning and moved the router to a different line. Confirmed. Appreciate your help!
Thanks, all. I can easily put the router on a different circuit.

Presently, I have an Audience Adept 2R2p conditioner at the outlet (a Porter port) and in one of those plugs I put my DAC and the rest goes to a Wiremold power strip with a Shunyata Defender plugged into it.


@dletch The router is where it is for a number of reasons -- connections to phone lines, other wifi extenders, security system. I can at least plug it into a different electrical circuit. It broadcasts easily to my streamer OR I could attach an ethernet cable if I wanted. The issue here is about the electrical system.

@riley804  The issue was that my gear was not located near properly wired outlets and I had to run it off an extension cord.
