I dunno when it became the norm to say the WiFi's down when it's actually totally fine and unrelated to the internet connection being down.
People at my work have said this even though they're using docks plugged with Cat 5.
At least they mention wifi.
Too many times they just say "my computer does not work". And then you have to pull the actual problem out of them. It is like they don't want it to be fixed.
Probably because ISPs like to fob you off with suggestions of poor wifi rather than address the actual internet issue you contact them about.
Non-technical people don't have any idea what a LAN is, and can't imagine any reason for WiFi to exist other than to get their device on the Internet.
So WiFi becomes a synonym for "Internet connection", perfectly interchangeably.
And in most operating systems the wifi icon turns into some other error icon if there's no internet. So I can see the confusion.
Cat5? Not even Cat5e? You sure the problem isn't just that their connection is 10Mbps or worse and we sites aren't just taking a couple minutes to load?
Yeah, e. Just didn't bother with the variance. Though, could even be Cat6 for all I know, never looked.
Almost just said Cat but figured that may confuse people. Our engineers keeping the network purring like a kitty.
Probably should have just said "Ethernet"
That's another thing entirely. I don't know if alive people can even use it.
Well if they're only getting 10Mbps over Cat5 then the cable's busted, since normally they're rated for 2.5GbE.
Nope, Cat5 was nominally rated for 100 MHz, but was superseded by Cat5e for greater reliability at such speeds
I did kinda mean it as a joke originally, but yeah 5/5e are the same outside of crosstalk resistance.
