Can I use it with my CAT6 ethernet cord? I notice everyone keeps saying they used a CAT5 cord.

Yes. 100Mb requires at least cat 5. Cat 6 is just better cable - capable of 1000Mb.

Im pretty sure you could because CAT5 and 6 have the same connectors. The only problem I could think of is if you have really high data transfer ratesbut this may not be rated for CAT6 speeds but it should still work.

Yes, I am using it over shielded cat 6. However anything that will work over cat 5 will work over cat 6. the wiring pin out on both is the same. The primary difference between cat 5 and 6 is shielding and other standards to allow longer data line runs.

I use a cat 5e cabling, It works just fine for me. I have never heard of Cat 6: is it even out there yet?

It will work over cat-6. The main difference between the two is there is an isolator in cat-6 that reduces crosstalk between the lines, so you get a cleaner signal. I have used my repeater system for years now and it is seamless. Hope this helps!

I would say no, because cat 6 cable is a little thicket than cat5 connector.

This is likely the wrong direction for you. This is if you have working WiFi, and want a wired ethernet connection. A WiFi access point or a wireless router would be what you want.

Likely yes, but : "...that's wired with cat6 if" what? I don't think your whole question made it into the post.

Should not make any difference for the NetGear router as cat5 goes to 100 MHz without any problem. I would be certain to use quality cat5 cable as there can be some differences, although there isn't supposed to be.

Hello Alfreda Robb,This cable will work. Cat6 is backwards compatible with Cat5e.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thank you,Taylor W.VIVO

I don't know why you would. I tried, had no success and had to return them. I got Cat5 cable and it worked immediately whereas the Cat6a didn't even give me a clue that it was even hooked up. The Cat6a is thicker and much less pliable (for going around corners, etc.) and I found that it just wouldn't do.

Don't understand the question. CAT5 from my modem feeds port #1 on the router which drives all other ports on the router. But all ports are the same therefore you could feed modem to any and use any other port to the rest of you gear, computers, printers, et al. Don't believe these routers accept CAT6.

I'm sorry, but I dont use the ethernet; I use it wireless. I hope you find the answer your looking for. Regards.

The Ethernet is a punchdown connection - - that means you strip off Cat 5e "outer" shielding cable, making sure to have less than 1/2" of UNTWISTED wire exposed to keep within Cat 5e specs - - use the supplied plastic punch down tool to secure all 8 wire connects -- the wire color coding is for 568A, but you can wire for 568B as long as BOTH ends are A or B coded. If you don't know what I'm writing, then this is not for you.

This adapter allows two computers to be connected together with a Cat 6 cable, without a Ethernet Switch in the middle. Only one adapter is needed on one end of the Cat 6 cable. It does not matter which end of the cable the adapter is installed on.

I was told to use Cat&a; because you'll have more lenght (100m) but if I'm not wrong Cat6 "should maybe" works, if you don't know get Cat&a; because the price diffrence is not very high if you buy a bunch of cables.

I'd use cat5 hardwire to your router firmware usually fails with wi-fi and it is basically useless if you don't update the firmware when asked. But mine is a couple of years old it may have changed since then.

I cant recall if cables came with them, but if so they were way too short to be of practical use. You can use any standard off the shelf cat5, cat6, etc. Ethernet cables with rj45 connectors.
