[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 888110, member: 24098"] That seems very slow, Tom. GbE is compatible with CAT5e, but with distances like that, and considering that you're not using enterprise-class switches, I would tend to think that you might be experiencing some packet loss. The easiest (and cheapest) thing to try would be to replace the CAT5e run with a CAT6 run (heavier shielding). I'd be willing to bet you'll see better performance. Although CAT5e should be good for about 330', you'll never see full performance with those kinds of lengths, particularly with consumer-grade switches. [/QUOTE]
