ethernet

I thought I would take a moment and share what I have experienced recently with my home network connection. I got a new Internet service provider since the local one I was using had too many dropped connections and my job depends on being online. But at least the modem was in the office and I...

I’ve just moved into a new house (new to me, it’s about 11 years old) and noticed that each room has a network faceplate (RJ45). Nice surprise! I then noticed 7 unterminated Cat 5e cables next to the distribution panel in the garage. Here’s what I plan to do. Could you please tell me whether I...

Hi all, I'm looking at feeding cables from my upstairs office to the lounge downstairs. The office is directly above the lounge and the cable will run across on of the common (external) walls. I'm looking at faceplates to neaten it up. I know ethernet will be fine. What about USB and HDMI...

Currently using powerline adaptors to run my gaming PC. I get about 40Mbps download 6Mbps upload at best using this method (over 100Mbps over Wifi next to current router). My PC doesn't have WiFi, so considering running two Google Nests (aware the Nest points don't have ethernet)/Google WiFi...

Hi i'm not sure if I will be asking stupid questions but never been good with internet/network stuff. Have had regular problems with internet and have feeling that some or all of it is being caused by my motherboard Ethernet which as in title is Intel i19-12v. My speeds through 4g wireless...

Hi, I've run ethernet cable around my house (cat 6, shielded) but it's so thick it's making punching them into facias a nightmare. When I push them back the tension in the cable caused the cables to come out the socket. The cable tie just doesn't hold it. I'm looking to also add these but just...

Hi All, I have "installed" a cat8 cable to run from my router round the house to my main PC. I purchased a Cat8 Keystone but am having trouble with the colours. The Cat8 cable I purchased was a commercial cable which already had jacks on (it was cheaper than buying just cable). The colours in...

I've had this problem since I replaced my old mobo with this new one. I would have to either disable/enable the Ethernet port, or reinstall the Ethernet drivers for it to recognize the connection. I tried reinstalling Windows 10 Pro, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, and I've...

Hi (sorry if something is wrong, I'm new here), Just got my new Sky Fibre installed. I really want to move my router as its near the master socket in a awkward place (corner of the house, away from wired/wireless devices). My main goal is to increase/maintain my speeds and improve reliability...

Background A little while back I purchased a Devolo MAGIC 2 home kit (one single port, non-WiFi adapter and two dual-port WiFi-enabled adapters) - these worked perfectly fine (and continue to do so). I make extensive use of VLANs on my network - I created a VLAN on my (Linux) laptop and...

I've just had the house rewired, and had cat 6 cable run to various rooms. I've got a gigabit switch connecting them to the router. We've got virgin 200Mbps, and I get 200Mbps when connected to the router, and when connected to a couple of the ports. But I'm only getting 100Mbps on some of them...

Ive been troubleshooting for ages trying to get this thing working, but no luck. I heard the b550 boards actually do support the 2000 series, so i put in my ryzen 5 2600 and it worked fine. However, the ethernet ports just dont work? Ive tried everything i could find, tsking the ram out for 10...

I'm having my house rewired and want to get ethernet cable run throughout at the same time. The electrician is fine with running the cables etc, but not so knowledgeable about the network side. My plan is to have him run cable from where the router will live up to the loft, have a network switch...

My WiFi is outperforming my ethernet - before I splurge to replace my router I want to confirm that it is in fact the bottleneck. I've just purchased the ethernet cable and the PC is a recent build. My router is the bog standard supplied by my ISP (Hyperoptic) but I haven't been able to find...

Hello everyone, There are a few workstations in office that are capable to ping its own ethernet node, there are a few that not capable to do that. I'm curious is there any settings for that. As a side note: none of workstations are connected with each other. IP-address, for example, 192.1.1.88.

I just moved into a new property. It has an ethernet connection in the wall upstairs, but no ethernet connection in the walls anywhere downstairs. So I was wondering, can I convert this line to an ethernet one? Please see the links attached for the pictures. I couldn't imbed the pictures...
