| canthus13 | Woo. I just bought a 1 foot cat6 cable. | 19:24 |
|---|---|---|
| canthus13 | Now I need to find a use for it. | 19:26 |
| canthus13 | (It was $1.80... I needed that much to qualify for super saver shipping.) | 19:27 |
| Cheri703 | hehe | 19:29 |
| Cheri703 | they're nice if you have a computer RIGHT next to your router, or from modem to router | 19:29 |
| canthus13 | there's a use. | 19:44 |
| canthus13 | didn't think about that. | 19:44 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, the modem to router is nice if they're stacked, keeps things cleaner behind it. | 19:44 |
| canthus13 | problem with modem and router being stacked is that the modems are suceptible to EM interference from the router. | 19:47 |
| canthus13 | It's not a common issue, but I see it happen from time to time. Modems will fail EM interference tests. Other symptoms (for telephone modems) include the phone not ringing, intermittent dialtone, and caller ID corruption. | 19:48 |
| Cheri703 | ok, so not stacked, but 1 ft apart :) | 19:50 |
| * canthus13 nods. | 19:51 | |
| canthus13 | Usually stacked is fine. but when weird stuff happens, the first thing to do is separate the two. | 19:52 |
| Cheri703 | I liked short network cables for when my router was right on top of my server/htpc desktop tower | 19:52 |
| * canthus13 nods. | 19:52 | |
| * canthus13 needs to clean up his cabling... | 19:53 | |
