I resolved the problem: 1) Followed recommendation to install a switch about 250 feet down line and 2) Discovered that I had a bad NIC card in a new Acer computer>>after replacing the card and installing the switch = $60.00 all is well and my downloadtests have increased. Thanks for all the feedback. Amen

Might a signal amplifier work approx 250 feet down the cable?

I am currently running cat 5 cable a distance of approx. 500 feet from a router to a switch at my office network. Just recently I installed a new computer but I am no longer able to get on the internet. My computer tech says the distance I am running the cat 5 cable is too long and too much is being lost in the signal to be able to get on the internet. Question 1) with this distance (500 feet) from the modem to the office network should I look into a wireless set up and if so what would be a good set up. Question 2) is there any work around to continue using the 500 feet of cat cable connection? Your input is greatly appreciated

I am not behind a firewall and the problem seems to have alleviated itself since early this AM. I don't know what the glitch was but I'll keep you posted if it continues to reoocur.

The top part of the screen loads ok (logo etc.) but the bottom half seems to take forever.

Lately I have been having problems logging on to the testmy.net website and doing download speed tests. Has anything changed recently that would cause this. Problem has been in the past 4-5 days. Worked fine before.
