RFI Problem With Router

I've recently noticed that my LinkSys BEFSR41 router (4 port using CAT5
wiring) is causing radio frequency interference (RFI) with my shortwave
radios on at least one or more frequencies. The first frequency that I
observed was 11955 kHz. The router and my computer,
printer, scanner, and cable modem are in the same room with the shortwave
receiver. The distance between the router and receiver is approximately ten
feet across the room. I've isolated the RFI source to the router by leaving
the battery-powered receiver on tuned to 11955 kHz and powering up and down
individually the computer, printer, scanner, cable modem, and router. How
can I eliminate the router's RFI problem?

Have you tried Torroidal line filters on the power line and cat-5 wire a few inches away
from the modem ?

Have you tried putting the Router as well in a shielded and grounded container ?
