[TriLUG] OT Networking in New House

[David Both via TriLUG]

I have CAT5 from my main network area for about 45 meters (I am 
guessing) to my sunroom where I have a second wireless router. This also 
gives me a 4-port wired router in that room. Never have a problem with 
it and get expected speeds based on the devices I am using. My cxhurch 
has CAT% in several runs of 80 or so meters and we get near Gb speeds 
with that.

I would not bother recabling unless you test and find a specific problem 
you can attribute directly to the CAT5 cable.
