Cat5e is sufficient for 1Gb/s

I have never seen a squirrel that I recall since moving here. I will keep my eyes open and pay close attention from now on. You know what we got? Hawks and owls and eagles and all types of birds of prey. Hell, the seagulls will swoop down and eat a squirrel. So I'm not saying that I don't have a high probability of the rodents ripping it apart. I simply haven't seen them around the way I used to. Washington state, something else new to me. So yeah, I just ordered this: https://a.co/d/cCTvaMY Which will run through the wall in my house through the bushes to the shed door. I also have trees most of the way and I could throw that cable and the entire time and let it go up and then back down. I bought enough extra to be able to handle that type of throw. I was expecting to coil 100 ft. I bought this access point to plug into it: https://a.co/d/9eqrSOF It's mesh technology will not work with my eero which is a mesh provided by my ISP and basically locks me into it unless I want to replace it all (and be responsible for it) and it works fine in my house so I'm going to leave it alone. I'm not quite sure how a remote access point handles Network logins when it's not part of the AP mesh. I guess I'll find out. I think this device will provide the access point that I want, but even if it doesn't, that's fine. It's additional ports will give me plenty of room to play to figure out my final solution if this is not it. I'd be okay with some wired devices. I haven't bought the next cameras yet. Everything will be right up beside the door in a sheltered space with easy access for cables popping through.

Plenty of extra on both ends to get anywhere in my house or anywhere in the shed. It was totally unnecessary. This base station/router is so powerful it gives me coverage over the entire property from the far end of the property inside the shed. I could have just put it right outside the house. That's okay, I'll leave it there, it's already run and it's in a protected space. Actual Network login was easy. I duplicated my current Network SSID and password and can walk back and forth easily between them. All applications work back and forth as well.
