Was going to use a longer eth cable but no spec printed on the supplied cable (no surprise there). Had a search on forum to see what spec the supplied patch cable is but no one seems sure. Should I go gigabit standard (cat 6) cable as speed is supposedly 470mb?</P><P>Steve</P> Sat, 26 Aug 2023 10:12:43 GMT TQSteve 2023-08-26T10:12:43Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/Patch-Cable/m-p/2311398#M204372 <P>Hi all, just had Fibre to the door fitted this week with one of these as my access point by the front door.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="IMG_20230826_090446435.jpg" style="width: 300px;"><img src="https://community.bt.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/81646i3A1E8C99B2DC5789/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="IMG_20230826_090446435.jpg" alt="IMG_20230826_090446435.jpg" /></span>&nbsp;</P><P>Have to be honest and say it really isn't the best area for the Smart 2 to sit, so was going to reposition it where the wifi will perform better.
