Home wiring uses only Cat 6 cables. I updated the connection from the router to the switch with the same type. The gigabit switch supports 10/100/1000 speeds. The motherboard is an HP8876 (AM4).
It's a mesh setup that lacks the typical four ports at the back.
Wall outlet question? Plug or Ethernet jack? I’m assuming you’re using powerline adapters. These are really basic solutions at best. You might face signal issues if your local and remote outlets are on different circuits, if there’s an AFCI/GFCI protection, or with noisy devices. I’d try to fix these before setting up. If you’re using COAX cables in each room, consider MOCA adapters, though I don’t have much experience beyond replacing them with Ethernet. If your network isn’t pushing 100mbps, you can adjust the speed settings, but you’ll likely run into trouble. Use a cable tester to check for cross-connections and confirm your outlets are wired correctly on both sides. Also, verify if your switch is a basic one—make sure the port isn’t set to 100mbps unless it’s truly supported.
