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?

NEW routers have faster wifi, 5G, if yours is old, ask for a new fast one, with wifi and 4 ethernet output jacks.

ethernet cable from cable co. router is without doubt the best for anything. I would poke thru the wall.

Is that cable company device in the garage wifi? Close enough for a good signal? You could try wifi from it before you poke thru the wall, 

You can buy a network switch, it will have 1 input for ethernet cable from cable company router, the switch will have wifi and 4 output jacks.

i.e. I put a wired switch near my home theater, then 4 separate ethernet cables to: TV; AVR; BluRay; PC and use it's wifi for strong signal in that area for tablet/laptop: reaches living room, porch, back yard.
