I have a troublesome paper shredder that periodically causes my cable
modem to lose its mind, and require a reboot.

Due to physical locations of outlets and cabinet spacing, I have no
choice but to use the same power strip for both shredder and modem.

I suspect conducted but I suppose it could be radiated.

Any ideas short of moving the shredder to another room ?:-)

Get a 1:1 isolation xformer for the shredder..
It's most likely the universal motor being used and the
brushes arch in those.
