Has taken a while to get this to work right, but the results a better now that the wireless is showing 26% boost under Wireless Mon 3.x. As you can see near the right ANT I have use 5/8 thick heater core hose to isolate any EMI/EMF or radio noise onto the Ethernet Cables. All power cords are away to the sides prior it was on the floor. Coax is away from the Ethernet.
