I have a small business network, trying to connect a cable modem to 4-port Ethernet hub by 100' cat-5. signal does not appear to be able to reach 100'. Is there an inexpensive booster/repeater/something that would do this?
I've ruled out bad cat-5 by running a 2nd. I've ruled out bad hub by going direct to cpu. I've ruled out bad cable modem by connecting laptop via short cat-5.
btw: inexpensive <$30, and available at common retailers (microcenter, bestbuy, etc)
Thanks.
