Yup, since this accessory gear is not part of the test, only used to provide the communications, find the quietest one you can for a typical expected environment that your EUT is expected to go in. I have also in a debug mode, used a wrap plug on the end and run the diagnostics to see what happens. Or put a matching EUT on the outside to serve as the ethernet accessory gear, two of that same one each end of the net, might be illuminating in a couple of senses of the word. - Bill

Routers and switches are known to cause EMI problems even outside the test site. You want to best simulate the environment your product will be used. Connecting directly to a PC would be legal, but would it simulate the environment where your product is used? I recommend trying a few different routers/switches to find the one that works the best for you.
