Yes I did try his suggestion but the line continually reset itself back to 100Mbps.

I was looking through some Cabling stores online and came across these plugs. Has anybody here ever used these plugs and if so how well do they work? If they are just as good as the real thing I'd love to order some so I can keep my terminations as neat as possible.

We actually tried connecting the two buildings using two WAP54Gs from Linksys setup in bridging mode but we could never get a reliable connection. For some reason we kept losing connection between one another and would have to constantly restart our WAPs to get the connection running again. I...

Thanks for the replies everybody but I believe the problem may be the length of cable that I used. The cabling run is in fact closer to 390 feet and I realize that is over the 100 meter maximum distance that you are supposed to run the cable. One possible solution I have been thinking of is...
