Hi! My house is equipped with CAT5 Ethernet cables through the walls. I have about 1 gbps from the modem and running ethernet from there to the other side of the house lowers the speed down to 30 mbps. I would like to remove one CAT5 cable and replace it with CAT6A to get better speeds. I have no attic to see current wiring, and I don't really want to remove parts of the the wall. The only way I thought to do this is remove current jack and wall plates of the CAT5 cable, heavily tape the CAT6A cable to the CAT5, and pull the CAT5 wire until I see CAT6A cable on the other side. Obviously there are a bunch of problems with this, on a scale from 1 to 10 how bad is this idea?
Is there another way to do this? Would my idea work? Thanks in advance.
