cat6

Hey! I recently purchased a pair of ASUS XT8s and I'm trying to connect them via ethernet, but my cat6 cable doesn't seem to be recognised in the WAN port of the secondary node (nor in the LAN1-3 ports of the main node). The cable from the main node to the secondary node would be very painful...

Hi - I'm looking to begin creating a wired network in my house in the UK - Wireless and boosters and powerline adaptors are current setup but irritating drop-outs and now need to have internet connection in an external garage Our router is in a downstairs family area in the centre of a 2 storey...

Hello, I'm UK based and have wired a new house throughout with cat 6. But this cat 6 is way thicker than any cat 5 I've used in the past, and I've tried different plugs but so far none have fit onto the cable. Its roughly 8mm thick. Maybe its cat 6a? Are there plugs I can buy for this cable...

Hey everyone, I'm experiencing some horrible performance via my RT-AC1900 and RT-AC68P routers setup in Aimesh. I've tried to disable everything from QOS to all the aiprotection products to increase performance with no change. I'm seeing great ethernet performance locally, but I'm getting...

Hi all -- I'm a novice when it comes to hands-on networking. Nonetheless I want to build a LAN in my home by running Cat6a cable throughout. I'm confused about a couple of things: I've read that you can't "make" Cat6 or 6a cables by hand, and that manufactured patch cables will always be more...

Hi, I have a Huawei HG658c provided by Vodafone Ireland (ADSL) and I disabled its Firewall. I have a ASUS N66Ru plugged into LAN port 1 which provides the internet to the ASUS. When I connect ASUS to the WAN port of the Huawei, ASUS doesn’t get an internet connection. That’s the first question...

Hi all, Am currently in the process of planning the cabling for my house LAN setup. The house is all solid walls, and as I don't particularly want to break into the plaster/walls more than minimally necessary (if possible), I went ahead and bought 100m roll of external Cat6, 23 AWG cable. I'm...

Hi, have a few questions about my network setup, main question is about cabling for router and switch but if i'm in the wrong section my apologies. I would also like to apologize in advance for my lengthy "essay" type post, I just tend to ramble and like to be thorough. Back Story: Now, I'm...

Hello I recently bought my first house which needed a full rewire. As part of this, I had CAT 7 cables ran throughout the house. I'm aware cat 7 is overkill, especially in the home environment, however when I purchased it, it was on offer for just slightly more than the price of cat 6 so it...
