Every time some piece of equipment is added, the performance can change. Who terminated the cables? Are they kinked, were they pulled with too much force, are they wrapped too tightly, were they pinched?
What model is the NetGear piece? Read the specs.
Why is Cat5 even in the conversation? Can't find specs for cabling? How are you searching? Be very literal in your search- write your questions as you would ask, verbally.
[Link: planetechusa.com]Thanks all for the help. This was a walk-through where this portion came up from the client as an afterthought. We hadn't contracted to do this troubleshooting so we weren't going to do anything re: testing, troubleshooting, discovery until we received $$$. I wanted to reach out to all to get your thoughts.
Depending what you read, there are lots of given max. speed #s for CAT5 and CAT5e. I was curious what everyone's take on this was.
