Hi Guys. I'm in a bit of a jam. I have highspeed internet inside the main house. I built a guest house in the back lot, 175 ft. away (54 meters). I bought 2 waterproof ethernet cables. 150 ft. & 100 ft. (Turns out I need only 175 ft.) I clicked the 150 ft. cable into the house modem & ran it back to the guest house. Too short. That's when I bought a coupler & the second 100 ft. cable. I clicked the two together with the coupler. Then I clicked the eth. cable into the laptop in the guest house. I was on the internet for 5 minutes and got kicked off. The next day, I couldn't stay on longer than 30 seconds. So then, I took off the 100 ft. cable and clicked the laptop into the first (150 ft) cable. (Picture me sitting inside the bushes -- haha.) Suddenly, I got on the internet but it was a slow connection. Do you think I should:
1) Scrap both cables and just get just one long 175 footer?
2) Should I keep the 150 ft. cable and get a 25 ft. to shorten the distance?
3) Or get a stronger couple or stronger cables?Spectrum, my ISP, said I need the Cat6 waterproof.
4) My other question is -- OK, so it gives me a really slow internet. But once I click on Netflix, will movies run at normal speed because they have their own "streaming thingy" ??
Thanks for your replies, and sorry for the long post. ">)
