Mixture of Cat5 and Cat6 LAN cable

What happens when you mix the cat5 and cat6 cables? For example from the desktop for cat5 (100 Mbit/s) patch panel and from the switch to the cat6 patch panel that supports Gbps. It will create problems?

Nope.

Your connection will be held at the common denominator - for example, if you have a part of the cable which is Cat5 and Cat6 - the rest is cable length behaves as if it had * everything * Cat5.

If your workstations will get a Cat5 grade connection to 100 Mbit/s bit matter what you hang on the switch.

See you soon.

  • Toshiba NB550-111 - no connection if the LAN cable is more than 2 metres

    Hello

    My newly purchased Toshiba NB550-111(Windows 7 Starter Service Pack 1) has problems with the LAN card.
    If the LAN cable is more than 2 meters, no relation to Allied Telesyn switch (no indicator led on the switch, 2 other desktop computers already connected). I tried not to connect in a different port (one used previously by one of desktop computers), no connection. I tried with 3 cables, still no results.

    Cables (cat5E, so important) have been tested OK before with a cable Tester, and I use both of them without any problem with another 2 desktop computers at home. I set another cable (5 m long, newly purchased) and tested for connectivity. It works very well with the other two offices, no results with the netbook. I tried with adapter it works, I disabled ' energy efficient ethernet "NIC, still no connection properties page. It only connects if the cable is less than 2 meters. I tried to connect the netbook directly to the DSL router, still no connection with a longer cable.

    The device is reported by windows as work very well, and the test Toshiba utility ends there is no problem. Windows I configured in the Control Panel, the Plan balanced for maximum performance in the power options, still no results.
    Any ideas, please?

  • WIRELESS and wired LAN do not know each other

    My internet provider installed a new cable modem, without capacity WIFI because I have an airport extreme base WIFI (with cable Express extensions).  Speed and quality are OK, wireless and wired, but there seems to be a wall of China between WIFI and wired (LAN): devices that are connected via a cable to my LAN are not visible from the wireless network and vice versa.  Airport extreme is not 'Bridge' mode ("because not of wireless on the new modem capability".)

    No idea of the reasons for this?  Thank you very much

    Sounds like the configuration of the device. With the airport devices it can operate as a device on the network or another firewall as its own network. I think that it is way jumpered to activate, this will allow you to configure the wireless on the airport, but your current router will do the DNS/DHCP and will be a single network.

    Now that you have configured as two routers on an independent network as there is no bridge.

  • TC 1302 via a LAN cable?

    Hi, I have a new MacBook and replaced so access to my TC.

    The TC is installed within a university network via cable, and I still have the problem to get connected to the internet.

    I installed WLAN and it shows my network.

    However, I want to make my backup, which is not possible via WIFI, such as the TC is not properly installed in the internet.

    So I run the backup vial Ethernet/LAN cable.

    But I still have the problem:

    • where to plug the MacBook (I have a USB-Ethernet adapter for the retina of 13 MB) in the TC? The man or the host 3 ethernet Ethernet plug?
    • How can I tell my MB and the TC that the GET connected? (as I can't see the TC on my MB as device)
    • the reform through to get a proper backup?
    • and: does anyone have a tip for the installation of a TC in a protected University LAN/WLAN? who are the preferred settings? (I spoil in a point and I'm not fixed)

    Best regards, Steffen

    The TC is installed within a university network via cable, and I still have the problem to get connected to the internet.

    Most likely, your University has an Internet router at the other end of this cable. That would mean, you need to configure your TC properly in order to access the Internet. The best course of action is to speak with your University of departmental it to get this set up.

    However, I want to make my backup, which is not possible via WIFI, such as the TC is not properly installed in the internet.

    The TC has NO need to have an Internet connection to use Time Machine for backups. Your Mac has just need to be on the same wireless network that provides the TC.

    • where to plug the MacBook (I have a USB-Ethernet adapter for the retina of 13 MB) in the TC? The man or the host 3 ethernet Ethernet plug?

    It must be plugged into one of the three ports LAN (opposing arrows).

    • How can I tell my MB and the TC that the GET connected? (as I can't see the TC on my MB as device)

    In its default configuration, the TC will broadcast a Wi - Fi network that is not secure, with a network name of something like: Apple network NNNNNN. You just need to connect your MB to this network.

    • the reform through to get a proper backup?

    Sorry, but I do not understand your question.

    • and: does anyone have a tip for the installation of a TC in a protected University LAN/WLAN? who are the preferred settings? (I spoil in a point and I'm not fixed)

    Yes, talk with your University computer support staff.

  • Satellite A20-S103: LAN cable disconnected

    Hello

    I can not access my LAN or internet.
    I use a Satellite A20-S103 with a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

    When I connect the Lan cable to the LAN port, the message "LAN Cable" disconnected.
    The same message is displayed using connectivity doctor ConfigFree.

    I have changed several cables, used cables that worked on other computers and the message still there and no access to the router/modem.

    Near the LAN port LEDs are not lightning (or orange or green, no)

    I already read messages here in the forum (and other forums) and I can't get the ethernet card works.

    Do you think the problem is with the card or the operating system.

    Can you help me?
    Sorry for my English

    First, check to see if the network card has been recognized in the Device Manager.
    Under network adapters, you should see the LAN card.

    If there is a yellow exclamation point near network card then the driver has not been installed correctly or there is another serious error.

    In the first case I recommend the withdrawal of the LAN card from the Device Manager and after new reboot, you should try to reinstall the driver downloaded from the Toshiba page!

    In addition, you must set TCP/IP parameters automatically because the router assigns the IP address automatically.

    Please check and report the results

    Good luck

  • PROTECTED M800 auto boot up after connected with lan cable

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Portege M800. I decided to connect a lan cable directly on the cell phone instead of using the wireless feature. However, when I shut down the laptop, it will automatically start upward. But after I unplug the lan cable and stop working properly. Can I know the config to make the laptop does not auto boot up after I closed the laptop with the lan cable connected to it.

    Hello

    I think that the boots mobile upwards because the wake on LAN in the BIOS option is enabled
    Please disable this option (in BIOS), save the changes and restart the device

    Then test this new!

    Hello

    I have no general solution, but I'll try to give some advice solution;
    If you want to connect laptop with LAN cable both please make sure that you use a crossover ethernet cable.
    In addition, check if the network card is properly recognized in Device Manager.

    You could try updating the LAN driver and remove the NIC in Device Manager to update the installed driver.
    After restarting again the operating system should recognize the new (Lan) device and should install it automatically.

  • Best way to extend the network of Apple using Cat5 and wireless, but with access to the same network

    Appreciate any help here.

    I need to extend my network coverage for the part out of my house where the current signal does not cover.

    I have a Time capsule in the office connected to my Modem and then created a wireless (XXXX) network that connects to the extreme in my front room... .well when I'm in my room before the signal does not increase when I go near the extreme... and maybe it's that I'm still picking up XXX to my Time Capsule wireless network.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5 and therefore the extreme would be able to stream my network wireless XXXX?

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which currently gets no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or must it come directly from the TC?   (and again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Ideally, I want the network to be possible STB and flavours around the House, and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would accomplish that... but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX wifi network I have printers, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    Oh... and 1 other point, I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... is - it possible... and that has to be directly connected to the time Capsule and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Hope that makes sense... but please let me know if you need more details.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5

    Yes. Hate to be picky here, but I hope you'll use CAT5, CAT5e cabling being quite a bit obsolete.

    wireless network and if so the extreme would be able to stream my XXXX?

    Yes

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which gets currently no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device

    Yes, but it would be preferable to cables to connect the 3rd to the main TC, if that's an option.

    or does have to come directly from the TC?

    No, but it would be better if she could, if this is an option.

    and once again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Yes

    and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would achieve this

    That is right. Ethernet is always the best choice in terms of performance.

    but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX same wifi network I printer, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    That should work well.  However, you may not aware that most of the PC and iOS devices not 'automatically' between different wireless access points as they move from one place to the other.  For example, you have your iPhone near the time Capsule, so he'll be looking for a strong signal from the time Capsule. If you move the close AirPort Extreme iPhone or any other device 3rd... the iPhone usually will stay connected to wireless Time Capsule... even if a stronger signal may be available in another wireless access point. Nature of the beast with IOS devices.

    Thus, with most of the PC and iOS devices, you will have to get used to temporarily turn off the WiFi on the iOS device when you move from one place to the other, then re - turn on WiFi once the device is close to the other wireless access point. The iOS device then generally will pick up the strongest signal from the nearest access point.

    Portable Mac computers will generally do a good job of automatically 'switching' to pick up the best signal of different access points in you walking the laptop around the House.

    I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... It is possible.

    Yes, but the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet ports or 10/100/1000, then the switch is going to limit the maximum speed on the network at 100 Mbps when the devices are capable of much higher speed.  If you plan to invest in the installation of Ethernet wiring around the House, then you also want to invent a new Gigatibit Ethernet 10/100/1000 switch, because it will allow up to 10 times faster compared to a 10/100 switch network connections.

    can do this via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or need to come directly from the TC?

    Yes, but it would be best to connect the switch to the time Capsule if it is an option.

    and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Yes

  • Satellite U - LAN cable does not work after bios update

    Hello

    I recently installed upgrading the Bios that was detected automatically, and it seems to work fine. However, my LAN cable no longer works to connect to the internet. When I try to diagnose the problem, I tells me that I need to make sure that the cable is connected, but I can assure you that the cable is well connected.

    The cable worked fine just before the update to the Bios and I know it is not a problem with the connection of the cable itself because my other laptop always connects very well with it.

    Hi people,

    I have a wndr 3700 for a long time. Lately, every time I wanted to turn it off, and return is on, it does not start unless I have unplug all lan cables and wait for it to start. It is very stange, because there is no problem with it. Once it starts, it works fine. but I have to disconnect the cables and wait for the boot sequence.

    no idea how I can fix this problem?

    Thank you.

    I think I did. I flashed with ddwrt and now it starts at each connection to the local network. so it was probably a software issue or a hardware but ddwrt can handle or ignore it. I'll try the official fw to see if the old fw was just tired :)

    Hello

    I put t know which lamps do you mean because I don t find any LAN LEDs on this laptop. In case you I would recommend checking the status of LAN card in Device Manager. Check if this card has been properly recognized and if there is no yellow exclamation point.

    In addition, I put t know what you expect. If you connect the LAN cable to the laptop from the LAN icon in the taskbar should usually shows the connected state of LAN cable (NO red x). If you do not see this icon please activate this option in the properties of LAN.
