Comment on But my WiFi is just fine!
v81@lemmy.world 9 months agoNope. While WiFi has fancy claims you’re not going to get any more than around 1200mbps at 20 metres on the best day with the best gear.
While with cat6 you’ll probably do 2.5gbps to 100m no problem, and even 10gbps. Even cat5e will do those speeds at certain distances.
I have a 10 meter cat5 cable I use for one application that can’t have any interruptions or lag.
Calling it cat5 cable makes any woman who hears me want to leave their man for me. Good to see another king our there using the proper terminology, stay tight player
Cat5, what is this? The year 2000?
At least use cat5e
cat6 or bust!
Hmmm, that reminds me; I need to separate out all the old ones that say “10BaseT”
I did buy the cable around 2010 for cheap
Cat5e. What is this 2005? Use Cat9.
U wont believe but its almost easier to get cat5e than cat 6 here
Physical limit for 2.4GHz is 1.11 gigabits per second or only 143 megabytes per second AT ALL. For 5GHz it’s slightly more than twice as much, but still less than even shitty cat5e, that allows 2.5GBE at 100 meters or in certain conditions 5GBE.
While with cat6 you’ll probably do 2.5gbps to 100m no problem,
Cat6 is 5gbps no problem at 100 meters and 10gbps at 55 meters.
TLDR, Intel banned my country

Also WiFi is half duplex so you only get those speeds in one direction at a time.

Didn’t know that, thank you!
