I just bought the "OCUK Professional Cat6 RJ45 5m Network Cable" to replace a dying cable I was using before, and now my internet connection is a mess.
It times out constantly and I only get decent internet for 5 minutes after rebooting, then it goes back to being a mess.
I am plugged straight into the router in the same fashion that I was before with my ancient ethernet cable that was running just fine.
I am 100% it's the cable.
What gives? Is there something that I need to do to a new cable to make it at least work?
Any thoughts?
