Wired Network Installation Help

[candrid]

Hey folks,

I want to take my cable modem and route it (using a linksys router) but what I'd like to do instead of having all these wires is - Id like to go from the modem, to the router, to various RJ45 jacks (installed in the walls) so that a PC can just plug into the wall.

Do I wire the Cat5e cable the same on both ends? (The end that plugs into the router and the end that terminates in the jack?)

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you want to always wire cat5 cables in a wall as a straight-through cable.

Welcome :)

Wireless sounds like an easier option ;)

Yea wireless would be, the building dosent like it - the connections really stink.

So by through cable you mean from the router to the rack?
Cause I know through cable as "patch".
Thanks again.
