I am wiring my home home network. I have a Linksys WRT54GS router. I am running CAT6 cable, and terminating at a CAT6 jack. I have a choice of either wiring according to T568A or T568B wiring layouts in the jack.

Does it matter which scheme I choose? Does the router require 1 over the other?
 


It makes no difference which standard you choose. Both ends of the cable must be wired identically.

There is no difference from the router's point of view.
 


Thank you!!
