I kind of know only the basics about networking... but I recently did more research about network cabling and discovered a lot more to networking I never knew. So to start off i have a few questions about Gigabit ethernet... The lan on my mobo supports it, but i only have a 10/100mbps router... this means that the router is only capale of transmitting 10mpbs or 100 mpbs over the ethernet cable right?? What would determine which it would use? whichever lan card u have on your pc?? Would the bandwidth speed of coming into your modem (cable,dsl, etc) effect the results of using 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) standards?
And lastly what is the main difference between cat5e and cat6... i researched it a bit and found that cat6 has higher bandwidth. Thanks in advance for any help.
