from 10/100 to gigabit

by briant28 . Updated 14 years, 8 months ago

hello! i’ve switch our company’s old router and switches (10/100) to a gigabit wireless router and switches. we had connection problems that we have to restart the router to get us connected back to the internet. i thought that switching the router and switches to gigabit will help. some of the computers couldn’t connect after they shut the computer down and connect the next business day. i’ve uninstalled and installed back the ethernet card driver but that was a quick fix. the next day, some of the computer won’t connect to the internet again. i disabled ipv6 from other computers, after the network connection refreshed, we are back to business. however, it won’t connect again after the next business day.

i need your help guys! most of the computers are using cat5 cables and not cat5e cables, will that affect anything? from patch panel to gigabit switch, should it be cat5e and not cat5 cables?

please help!
