I wouldn't buy netgear again. What's the use of a wireless network if it doesn't even cover an average detached house?

And I was abused for cutting holes in all my walls and running CAT5E through the whole house so that every room has at least 2 network ports....
You'll see in the end, i'll have my nice gigabit network running while you are all loosing your wireless link and i'll be laughing all the way to the .. erm .. Internet.
(and yes I know you are supposed to use CAT6 for gigabit, but i'm sure i'll still get gigabit speeds from the shielded CAT5E cable i used
)

But I doubt you'll be running anything that needs gigabit anyway for a very long time.Originally posted by ArdescoAnd I was abused for cutting holes in all my walls and running CAT5E through the whole house so that every room has at least 2 network ports....
