what do you consider a long run. My TWL Freedom ethernet is 8 meters and I have never once had an issue. It fits all of the criteria required as described many times by EmileFWIW: I also have a Freedom in my chain, upstream. I have had one in various places over the past two or so years. I like it where I don't need a long-run.
Me too ....is your 50 feet of cable running visibly through the house or is it hidden somehow. If I had 50 feet of cable running visibly through the house my wife would not be a happy camper....nor would I for that matterFWIW, my router to switch run is 50 feet. My setup sounds better with my switches than without. When Taiko releases their switch I will move to that.

Cox is our providerHi Steve, I see you also have satellite. The price we pay for seclusion! So you go from modem to router to Extreme? I'm with Viasat, curious who your provider is? Eventually Spectrum will be out here, Rural NC. Only problem I'm 2000' off of the road, I'm certain I will have to jump through hoops, and pay, to get it trenched back to the house. Supposedly 300' is their max.
Another interesting feature we’re looking into implementing is to route your Ipad output through the router to the Extreme. That would enable streaming youtube video sound to your system amongst others. That part would however only work for Extreme / XDMS owners.
Exciting times ahead!Patience is a super power...
My Extreme is in the states with a potential delivery on Monday.

These look to be shielded. Isn't the recommendation with Extreme, UTP (un-sheilded) ethernet?
The basic recommendation as a neutral starting point is indeed to use unshielded cables. But don't worry too much about it as it's not a strict requirement.These look to be shielded. Isn't the recommendation with Extreme, UTP (un-sheilded) ethernet?
Mine is in the same situation. Hopefully it will be delivered Monday... if not Tuesday at least.Patience is a super power...
