cat6e on a gigabit network is to fast for ata hardrives and some s-ata drives.

My shitty netgear wireless router sucks as well, too lazy to go buy another one though. I just have a 100ft ethernet cable at my parents house, works great!

lol, we have like 3 computers and would need like 150+ ft of cat5, it'll probably end up coming out to the same price. Although the connection will be better. I just plug up the wireless router and be good to go. no labor involved
