The distance between my Airport Extreme to my Late 2012 21.5" iMac is 20 Meters .
The present Ethernet Cable is CAT 5e ,
1. Upgrading to CAT 6 will make any improvement ?
2. Is the Airport Extreme compatible with CAT 6 ?
Thanks ...
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
1. Upgrading to CAT 6 will make any improvement ?
No, not really, as both Ethernet category types support the maximum bandwidth that the AirPort Extreme can handle.
2. Is the Airport Extreme compatible with CAT 6 ?
Yes.
1. Upgrading to CAT 6 will make any improvement ?
No, not with your current products, but CAT 6 might be needed 10-20 years from now when devices will have 10 Gigabit capability over the 1 Gigabit speeds that they have now.
. Is the Airport Extreme compatible with CAT 6 ?
Yes, but the AirPort Extreme can only deliver 1 Gigabit speeds.
Thank you for your fast reply !!!!
Thank you also !
