Hello I have found going through my Verizon router multitasking that I sometimes get drop outs nd loose. One or. Freeze up. I switched from a cat 5 cable to a cat 6 A cable a means augmented your band width is much higher and up to 10 x the information can go through.i have found this a great solution .
My freind works at IBM and said this cable is now a standard in most departments, and these cables are not that much.i went to cables to go. $5.00 for a $7 ft. Even in 50 ft length not much more then the cat 5 .
Good luck.
