On topic bit, I use a 1 metre Cat6 patch lead from my wall socket into my TP-Link router.
Concerning the forum. If you wish to gain a meaningful opinion of what goes on here, please take the time to read through at least the last month worth of of threads, only then will you appreciate how things work here.
You contributed to an earlier thread which resulted in a completely unacceptable response from another contributor which a Moderator quite rightly subsequently removed. I notice that the Moderator post has also since been removed from that thread. It’s a heavily sanitised environment.
This forum is primarily a help forum, a question is asked, possible solutions are offered and some bask in the glory of kudos points. Contribute freely but be prepared for short shrift if your answers don’t meet the high standards of others.
A lot of the original Cat 5 was four wires only and so would never do 1000 Mb/s.
I was merely expanding RBZ’s post in case it was unclear why he had taken issue with you. My apologies if it caused any offense. That was not the intent.
The whole argument is irrelevant anyway. Can you even still buy Cat 5 today?
Agreed, and thanks for the follow up 🙂 looking forward to contributing.
