I'm trying to find the differences between cat6 and cat6e but I can't find them.
i'm sure most people only have 1 subnet in their homes. in that case, the traffic is all switched and not routed.
you might be thinking 4-port linksys router. but it's not a 4 port router, it's a router with a built-in 4 port switch. routing doesnt take into effect until you try reaching a different subnet
