Gerrardasnails:mattjax05:Thank you everyone for your comments. I am going to get an ethernet cable and have a wired connection. It's not convenient to do so but saying that it's not too much of an issue and hopefully it will cure my problem - if not then it's only cost me a few quid. I went from wireless to cat 6 into homeplugs. Works a treat.
Cat6
Do you currently benefit from this enhanced cabling over cat5, or are you future proofing? My current wired network is rated 100mbps, I have a BT HomeHub - I don't think my network equipment will be upgraded anytime soon so should I just opt for cat5? Or are there other advantages based on my current setup?
I'm no expert on this but I use the Linksys By Cisco PLK300-UK Powerline and they offer 200MBps, my Popcorn Hour A-200 offers up to gigabit ethernet, I needed longer lengths of CAT cables and the difference between CAT5 and CAT6 was about a £1.
