If you have a 1G port on your computer and router, look for the cable marked CAT6. If you have 100 MB then CAT 5 will do.

How to check this on the router are there any markings?

Connect your computer to the router and see how fast your connection is negotiated.

Ok, I will check how I connect with a cable. At the moment, through the TP-LINK TL-WN881ND network card, it seems to be able to drag up to 300mb. The router is right behind the wall and the speeds are different, sometimes it is 60mb / s and sometimes it will show 96mb / s, what does it depend on? I have all drivers, the range is full. And the fiber suppliers are fine, the cable has a constant speed of 98 all the time, sometimes 100mb / s.

Sorry, but a stupid idea. The author writes that the cable runs exactly 100mbit, it is rather with such a speed that he has a connection. To determine the maximum speed you need to know what your network card and router can do. In short, let the author specify the type of network card in the computer, or laptop model, etc., and the name of the router.

The Huawei EchoLife HG8245H router and the network card in the TP-LINK TL-WN881ND stationary computer.

You entered your wireless card. You can't stick a cable to it. If you want to know if you can count on a 1gbit connection, enter the type of the wired card, and if it is built-in on the main board, the board type. The router has 1Gbit ports.

fenri95 · Answer

Yes, buddy, I gave a wireless card on which these speeds are different, now, for example, it is 60mb / s and I connect the cable to the board socket and there is almost 100mb / s, the motherboard is Asus M5A78L / Usb3

m.jastrzebski · Answer

Both the motherboard and the router have 1gbit ports. You can have such a cable connection between these 2 devices. How fast your internet is, you did not write it. Each cable of this category mentioned above should work up to 100m distance with full speed because this distance is provided for by the Ethernet standard. It's not WiFi, that if the cable is 50m, the speed will drop. Buy a cable that has factory-sealed plugs, they are more durable than those where someone in the store squeezed the plugs. After WiFi, nothing is ever guaranteed because you use one and the same radio cable together with the sasaid.

OK, that is, just buy a cable marked CAT6, I will buy it ready with Allegro up to PLN 10 full of it ..

m.jastrzebski · Answer

Accurately. For the durability of the cable, make sure at the auction that the RJ45 connectors are factory-wired. They are then flooded with plastic and are simply more durable. Because you can make such a cable by crimping the plugs on it. 2PLN you will pay more for such a cable.

fenri95 · Answer

I know what's going on in my case, it will have to be dragged with slats next to the panels, so it's better that it is already flooded with plastic. Added after 2 [hours]: Such?
