Ok i bought a 25ft cat5e cable to run around my room from my comcast modem to desktop. According to windows i have speeds of 1gbps but to be realistic only getting 80mbps download speeds according to speed test.
I bought a newer bigger case for my desktop and the few inches higher ethernet port is a tight reach, since i already secured the cat5e cable against the wall on the floor. I work part-time for best buy and can get the only rj-45 coupler they have for like $1, but what bothers me is that the speed is rather 10/100. So if i decide to get the coupler to relieve the tension, will it affect my internet speeds?
