I have a 1Gig/1Gig internet plan and a TP-Link Archer AX6600 router. I've seen different information as to what the Wifi 5GHz download/upload speed should be. I doing the 5GHz speed test with only my laptop from about 10 feet from the router. My laptop is an Alienware M17 R2 with a Killer AX1650w card.

The Ethernet Cable Connector RJ-45 is getting very Bad.

And I want to get a Shorter Ethernet Cable as well.

I want to get the Fastest Ethernet Cable so I will be ok even for Years to come.

You Know so even if My Internet Speed goes Up I will not have to Buy a new Ethernet Cable.

So is CAT 5. or CAT 6. the Fastest or is there another Ethernet Cable out now?

I'm using windows 10 and after I go certain websites, like aliexpress.com or dhgate.com my wifi turns off. Pretty much everything shuts down, can not use other websites too until I close dhgate.com, then everything comes back alive. Other websites run smoothly and no problem at all.
What would cause that problem?]]> 17
