CAT5E not CAT5. CAT5E is faster, can handle gigabit networking (1000mbps) just fine. I've noticed that a lot of the AV/networking specialists I deal with at work are starting to specify CAT7 cable... not that you can get much that'll need CAT7 but still, that's what rich people get for wanting to hire the expensive designers

I don't disagree, and when I moved in my house the first thing I did was installed the network cables for the LAN. But over here it's harder to retrofit a wired lan as houses were built from brick until only a few years ago, I believe a lot of houses over that side of the pond are timber framed which is much easier to retrofit.

It's those good and bad points I was trying to get brought up and expanded on.

Mine ii brick on the outside and drywall in the inside,so its pretty easy like most houses in usa

Some lines i check it cat5e if not all.since i did it just a little while back,but you need a GIG switch to go with it or you are just using 10/100 lan ,my internet is 300 gbps ,so 10/100 switch wont work, i got a GIG switch for video and network 10/100 router and switch ,and on the GIG line i do have a 1 GIG lan card

Yes, gigabit hardware is also required otherwise just 10/100. That's why I had to change my router, it was 10/100 and has 4 branches to 4 switches going through it so while my office could transfer 1000mbps with my nas my living room couldn't. Unfortunately, my router sucks as it has a built in modem and if the internet goes down my whole network fails... need to find a gigabit router capable of everything I need (ideally able to run tomato or the other firmware I can never remember the name of).

Anyway, we digress...

WiFi module... the main issue I see with this is the virtual com port. When you have yours running stable please please please post info on the virtual com port and how to set that up.

YES I WILL.i dont think i will have any problem since this one is for virtual com port software I could easy test it now since i have the board,but i will wait till my other part gets here in about a week.

another item others dont know about using WIFI ,if you have metal studs in your rooms.like most houses iin usa has,and brick on the outside,it wont pickup WIFI very good Bluetooth mostly for a very short range ,like in robot controllers,but same thing with metal studs and if in a room far away cant pick it put most house builders use metal studs with drywall its easy and fire safe,it does block WIRELESS CONNECTION

BUT doest meen every house has it

I gotta call you out on this one Robotmake. Most builders in the USA Do Not use metal studs in homes. Wood is the preferred building material for houses. Overwhelmingly. There are however a lot of homes with brick on the outside.

i thought most did,since mine has metal aluminium studs in the rooms ,its brick on the outside Reason i found out is i went to make one of the rooms bigger i had to remove the metal studs and replace some of them and to had ethernet cable in too,mostly was fairly easy So i think some homes might have it,its hard to tell unless you break the walls apart

I think the reason some homes use it ,is because of fire ,wood burns ,metal doesnt havent seen too many homes on the outside that uses wood
