    Cord Too Long

    This ethernet cable did what it needed to do so that I could work from home however, my internet connection was very slow using the ethernet cord versus the wireless WIFI. I do think the cord being bunched up due to being so long caused an issue. I wouldn't recommend this cord for anyone in a 1100-1300 sqft 1 level home. However, if your home is much bigger with an upstairs etc.... this cord may work. I would suggest unwrapping they entire cord so that nothing is bunched up.

    The length didn't really help, but also didn't deliver the speed needed. But then again it could have just been the port as well. Make a decision if this is exactly what you need. Most of the insignia cables do justice. But this one didn't for me.
