Troubleshooting

Intermittent connection or slow performance

Check the quality and type of the Cat.5e/6 cable; solid core patch cables are recommended. Ensure the cable is not damaged. Reduce the distance if possible. Close unnecessary background applications on the computer that might be consuming resources.
