My PC is about 4 rooms down from my router, too far away to use ethernet, so I use Wifi. Wifi, as we all know, sucks incredible ass when it comes to reliability. So I thought to myself, there has to be a better way. So, after some researching, I found THIS, which seems like it'll solve my problem. The issue is, there are two options for connectivity ports - 10/100M and 10/100/1000M. I honestly don't know what this means, and I want to know if i'll benefit from getting the 10/100/1000M at all.

 

My current plan is 15 down, 5 up (not impressive) and it's even worse when i use Wifi.

 

Thank you,

 

Dave

1000M means you can get up to 1Gb network transfer speeds on that port.

You do not need more than 100M if your speeds are less than 100Mbps

10/100M is 100 megabits per second 10/100/1000M is 1000 megabits per second (gigabit per second).

 

These speeds are applicable to lan communication

1000M means you can get up to 1Gb network transfer speeds on that port.

You do not need more than 100M if your speeds are less than 100Mbps

 

 

I'm not the best person for this but I believe the 10\100\1000 have support up to 1Gb while the other one goes only up to 100Mb.

 

Thanks all, so I would be fine with the 10/100?

If the limit on those is 500Mbps than a 1000Mbps capable port is kinda stupid (unless there is a reason I do not know of)

So yes, 100mbps port will be fine.

That reason being you actually want to get the 500 mbps instead of being capped at 100 mbps? lol
