Do different routers affect sound quality


I have a simple question about network routers. I have been running a small laptop (Toshiba) thru a USB Regen to  my Ayon CD5s. The files have been stored on a WD Remote Hard Drive and connected directly to the Laptop via ethernet cable. I just recently received my OPPO 205 and have connected it to a verizon router as well as the WD hard drive.  I know there are high end ethernet cables out there but I never hear anyone mention the Routers. It would seem where the signal is going thru the Router that this would have and could have an impact on sound quality. Has anyone explored using different Routers and are there any suggestions? Which do you think is a better path USB from Laptop or Remote HD thru network Router  connected  to the OPPO?

Ok thanks makes sense to me now. I  use an extender with a single lan port to connect my micromega m100 it doesn't have wifi. 
I hate wall warts. You can buy a router like the Luxul 4500 that doesnt use a wall wart. You can then put a fancy power cable on it if you'd like. 
Well: Thank you all for the advice. I was connecting thru an extender. Yes I can remote power supply to outside my AC conditioner and will look into better power supply for it as well. The reason for my post was it seemed as thou I had lost a little detail and presence when I went from the Laptop USB feed too the Router Lan connections. The Extender has two ports so I was connecting Remote WD Hard drive to one port and the second port to the OPPO.  I was expecting  the Laptop and USB to be the inferior of the two. but its seems to be just the opposite. Obviously I have a work in progress.
Again thanks for all the suggestions
