If you are on a UPS, definitely use a Belkin AV mains conditioner with it, as I think my APC one has a staircase output (not a pure sine wave) although I'm not sure, but playing it safe. If so, then it will reduce your noise levels.
DLink: I myself use the DLink DSL-320-Z1 too (h/w rev Z1), strongly recommended on an ultra long line (mine is >7300 m). Supports MTU 1500+8 too, RFC 4638, and you are on 21CN, and so I hope your router does so too. I haven't managed to find out anything about that router model. If it does support RFC 4638, then you can test support for IP MRU/MTU 1500 (rather than being stuck with 1492).
