Hello guys, new to the whole networking world and been browsing this forum for the past 2 days. So i have a question, these question about variation of modem MOST of them implied to the speed you get via Wi-FI right??
Does that subsequently mean, physical lan (cat6) cable connection doesnt matter? Other than the basic ADSL or VDSL modem wise. (<For my case)

Yeah thats what i though, so i chose cat6 and did the extension myself via ceiling from modem to a room. Also, what modem would be given by TM? Any red flag modem i should avoid? I didnt slip the cat6 cable with a PVC Pipe nor PVC flexible conduit, is that ok? would heat/dust deteriorate it? If its side by side with the L N E of electrical cable, does magnetic wave or the sort would affect the cable/connection in anyway? This post has been edited by BeautyJester: Jul 16 2018, 02:35 PM

QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Jul 16 2018, 03:42 PM) Good to hear you manage to save some costs. The list of gigabit modems are as below: Huawei HG824Qw (Gigabit) Alcatel Lucent I240G (Gigabit) If you put your Ethernet cable side side by side with electrical cable, then it will affect it but I am not too sure to what extent, but there will be definitely interference of some sort, especially if it is UTP, and not STP, which is shielded. See here: https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things...-network-cable/And here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/...cal-wiring.htmlSuch a good read, THANK YOU! Guess i will shield the cable with individual pipes and casings; good thing i havent install the RJ45 jack yet but the ceiling space, holy shit; i would imagine if the TM contractor install confirm expensive as fck. Btw, is Cat6 like more than "enough" for now? Its like 13 meters only; the better version of Cat6 and above would only apply to distance right?
