Rif.: Nighthawk Rs200 - no WIFI after Reboot - Internet via LAN ok
I have the same problem. After a few weeks of working fine, the product suddenly started losing 3 packets after every 10 successful ones, and it just keeps doing it. I got a new product after speaki...
CAT6A should be more than enough for this router.
If the modem and router are far apart and you have to run a long cable try first with a short one to see if it solves the problem. Get the router closer to the model for this test. If it is solve the problem as well get a new long cable or even maybe 2 so you'll have a backup cable if something happens to the other.
My modem and router are probably about a foot apart they sit on the same shelf the modem is closer to the bottom, because the ISP cable coming out of the wall is down low and a 1 foot connects my modem to my router with sits on top of my shelf. The 50 ft cable connects my PS4 pro to the router thats the cable that was possibly damaged and I’m replacing. But as precaution ill buy both the 50ft LAN cable of CAT6A for my PS4 and a 1 ft cable to connect my modem to the RS300 🙂
There should be at least 3 to 6 feet in between the router and modem.
There is only CAT6 UTP and CAT6A STP. There is no E.
- Good to know i thought they had to be right next to each other, thats what the ISP recommended. I’ll separate them by 4ft. I have a buddy who works in installing security and internet systems and he gave me CAT8 wire should I use that or still buy CAT6A?
Is the cat8 UTP or STP, STP is preferred.
