I think you're referring to a 20Mbps connection rather than 20Gbps. There aren't any wireless standards or access points available that match that speed in the current market. On the other hand, wireless performance can vary greatly based on your setup and device count. You might not reach even 20Mbps, and achieving low latency is challenging unless you're using a wired connection directly to the router. A mesh network with dedicated channels helps, but interference and distance still affect performance. Connecting directly to the mesh node can improve things, though if your wireless limits are tight, standard Cat5e or Cat6 cables won't help much. In short, 20Mbps isn't realistic—wired is the only reliable option.
You're welcome! It sounds like you're on the right track with a Cat 7 Ethernet cable. That should give you solid speeds. Let me know if you need more help!
You'd require distinct tools for fiber connections, but they wouldn't offer any meaningful advantage. For gigabit NICs, a Cat5e setup delivers identical performance to a Cat8 configuration.
Sure, let's keep it simple.
I’m not really sure what WiFi is or how it functions.
I spotted a solid offer on Amazon under $20. I have the funds available and want to secure it now. Appreciate your help!
Purchase a Cat5e cable and stop there. If your Wi-Fi remains unstable, the issue isn’t the connection. For speeds of 20 Mbps, it’s fine. For 1 Gbps, it’s sufficient.
