are you using Cat5e cable? the longest you can run it is 100 meters, thats the cut-off point, where you begin to lose data. If it's longer than 100m, you need a switch somewhere in the middle.
we are running cat 5 cable not cat 5eand we do have a switch i think its the one werer its jumping my room to the other room for the router
