Hi! We have had EE broadband fitted and the cable from the wall to router is short. We want to move the tv etc (attached to router) for a new room lay out. Can I buy a longer cable from the wall to the router and does switching (ie removing from wall so temporarily disconnecting router) cause any issues?
@EmTyler Cat5e is good to 1Gb/s speed for a full 100Metres cable run, just buy what you need, whatever is in stock and a typical 10M = 33foot cable is around £7, if you get a cat higher it does not matter!
@EmTyler Yes, you get Cat5e onwards the higher the number the higher the price, Amazon probably good to get just search Ethernet Cable and you will see various and then the length you need, ie 5M,10M 30M etc!
@EmTyler You have the official EE one, does not get any longer than that for them, and yes just unplug, move your EE Router to where and plug them back in again!
Ah ok so they don’t do a longer one and I need to switch out for the recommended one above? Thanks - when you say the higher the number more expensive do i need a different one if we have a lot of streaming etc. I need it to be the same/better than the Ee one.
