Fiber Optic Internet...best way to connect to system


How do you make best use the ISP supplied fiber optic internet for your system?  Xfinity brings the fiber optic into an Arris X5001 gateway with an SC UPC terminated cable.  I currently am connecting to the ethernet ports on the gateway to supply my Bluesound Node.

Question is:  Can I do better?

OP:  There's nothing you can do  to get around the cable modem.  Leave it alone.

My best advice is that you use iFi power wall warts for any Ethernet devices near your audio chain.  For instance, I use an Ethernet switch to provide a cable to my audio streamer, AVR, TV and DVD player.  Switching the power supply there may keep your analog devices from picking up noise from the AC.
