Ah, I see.. did you read about the reliability of Wireless N and Homeplugs and the actual speed they can deliver? but then again, everyone has different needs and preference.. I still prefer cabling it up.. biggrin.gif

I'm really confused whether to use cat5e or cat6!

I selected Cat6 to future proof the network... but looking at the prices of items I sometime wonder if it is worth it.. however, thinking that I'm doing this once off and don't want to rewire for future, I think Cat6 is safest.. only difference by a few hundreds right.. imagine if you find out in the future that you need rewiring because cat5e is no longer sufficient.. that's going to cost a whole lot more..

Very true. Is the crimping as easy? And also, how about the 90 degree thing?

hello, got a question to ask! When I did my own patch panel, and run it thru the cable tester, the light flows from 1 to 8 but somehow miss the G. Does that mean the cable is not gigabit?

I'm using Cat6 cable.
