Does anyone know any good brand of network booster or repeater ?
wired network
got any recommendation and hopefully some contacts or link to view
the basic network structure is from a cat 5 network to a cat 6 uplink to the main router.

thanks in advance!

Why don't you try a more powerful antenna first?

eh no no .. it is not wireless network booster wor....
it is a wired one...
old tech device man ...
hard to find now ! sian 1/2

[&d00]

just have a switch every 100 meters

[welcomb]

maximum up to 4 repeaters/switches if i recall correctly.

[&d00]

why maximum of 4 switches? they have barely any performance loss.

but 4 hubs will destroy throughput that's for sure.

Oh oops. Yah switches are acceptable.

yup so just have a switch with at least 2 ports every 100 meters. that will work. even a lousy switch.

You can have three hub between router.
But if the distance is very long convert to optical fiber will be cheaper.

[&d00]

switches will be faster.

fiber, counting cables and media converters, will be more expensive compared to 3 5-port switches, which will cost around less than $100 in total.

Switch can extend many times, because it can process data/frames, while the hub can only regenerate and forward the packets as it is a OSI layer 1 component.

I also remember roughly about the max of 4 repeaters rule. Something like 5 networks, 4 max repeaters for a joined collision domain. Google about network 5-4-3-2-1 rule. Came across this rule donkey years ago. But this is for base T networks. Think it doesn't apply for switched networks.

as i said with switching there isn't a limit.
