Hey folks, long time luker. My home net is only good for viewing websites (~3-4mbps) but i use a 4G router attached to external antennas and get around 65mbps.
Now because my garden is so dense i don't get a great signal, but i've got my antennas outside my garden pointed at the mast. Now this is fine, i get a decent signal, but my cables from the antenna to the router is 35 meters long(although i'm only using around 30 meters). At the weekend, i started toying with the idea of getting an external router and connecting that to a switch via 30 meter cat6a cable(if im honest, i would of done this originally, but i didnt know external routers were a thing).
So my question is, do you think i'd notice any difference in latency( and maybe speed) switching from a 35 meter antenna cable(i'll point out its quite a beefy cable) to an external router and 30 meter cat6a cable?
Cheers
