I was wondering...........all the telephone lines in my house are cat 5.
I have DSL from ATT and because of how things are set up in the den, I have to run a telephone cord to the router on the other side of the rooom.
I am currently using a telephone cord I got with the router, the standard telephone cord that costs 5 bucks for 50 feet at WM or Radio Shack.
The same style that has been around for 30 years. I don't know what it is called......does anyone know ?
Anyhow, I want to subscribe to Netflix and thought about downloading and picture quality.
Should I replace the common telephone line with a cat 5,6 line from Monoprice ?
I currently use a cat 6 jumper from the router to the Dish receiver and another cat 6 line from the router to the blu ray player.
Everything else is a cat line, it seems that this should be too .
What does everyone else use ?
Is what I have good enough or should I replace it ?
Thanks for your help.
