In line puch down Krone coupler for Cat5E - any "gotchas"?
I'm planning to move the main router across the room to a new location.
The obvious options are a patch cable round the skirting board from the current wall socket or extending the Cat5E wiring under the floor and moving the socket. Any obvious "gotchas" in using a punch down coupler such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/rhinocables...hdown-Coupler- Ethernet/dp/B01N37M4KE/? Looks pretty straight forward.

You do need channel width that isn't there on 2.4G WiFi. Beam forming can increase the range though. It also helps if you have lots of access points and clients in a small area. Yup, the mimo and beam forming get round the typical limitation of previous wifi setups where the peak data rate was in effect shared between all users. Now you can have multiple users each getting a high data rate, even in cases where the total overall throughput exceeds the single channel peak. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I'm planning to move the main router across the room to a new location. The obvious options are a patch cable round the skirting board from the current wall socket or extending the Cat5E wiring under the floor and moving the socket. Any obvious "gotchas" in using a punch down coupler such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/rhinocables...hdown-Coupler- Ethernet/dp/B01N37M4KE/? Looks pretty straight forward. I surprised myself by discovering that when I originally installed the Cat5e I left enough spare cable to allow me to move the socket across the room without having to join it. Memo to self - always leave some spare cable!
