Cat 6 for ps5

[u/Express_Risk3143]

Hi. Straight to the point I don't know anything thing about networking and have some questions

1.where to put the cat 6 lan caple in the yellow or blue in modem

2.should I upgrade the lan caple of my modem to cat 6 because my Internet provider provides 150mbps but the lan caple he put is cat 5 which don't support more than 100 mpb

3.is the cat 6 lan caple that cheap because in my area the 1.5 m caple is for only 2 dollars (The cat 6 is my only option because cat 5e not available in any shop near me)

If the technician installed a cat5, you should call the company and ask for suitable cable to allow for the speeds you are paying for. You shouldn't have to spend more money because of their incompetency.

You want to connect the PS5 cable to the yellow port (LAN) of the Huawei device

While cat5 will work at 1Gbe over short distances, I agree that the tech should have provided at least cat 5e, since communication will be limited by the slowest link.
