Just wanting to check that my understanding is correct. When I upgrade from CAT-5 to CAT-6, I can upgrade sections of my LAN one step at a time, and have higher speeds on any 100% CAT-6 paths without being downgraded to CAT-5.
3 computers, 2 NAS drives, 1 router. Computer A <-> Router = CAT-6 Computer B/C <-> Router = CAT-5 NAS 1 <-> Router = CAT-6 NAS 2 <-> Router = CAT-5 Computer A <-> NAS 1 has higher transfers Computer A <-> NAS 2 has lower transfers Computers B/C <-> NAS 1 = lower transfers Computers B/C <-> NAS 2 = lower transfers Now I'm pretty certain the router plays a role in speeds so what specs should I be looking at to see if the router can handle CAT-6 speeds?
