Following on from yesterday’s post , I’ve discovered that the CAT7 Flat Ethernet cable I ran around the floor, under the stairs then around the outside, now internal 400 mm wall to the back extension (25m long cable) is only giving 100Mb on the network card…
I’m upgrading to EE WIfi 7 Pro extenders and read they need to be back haul connected back to the router.
So:
1, is the existing 100Mb cable ok or
2 is there a CAT 6A flat cable 25m long with Ethernet plugs on that anyone knows off?
Thank you.

@DavidBubear Have you got a network cable tester? You can pick one up from Screwfix for a few quid. This will let you know whether the cable is faulty or not.
You can get 25m Cat 6a Cable with ends from Amazon
Hope this helps
