I've got the ordinary Whole Home, which works ok on 500m, but do I need the Premium? Or something else? I use ethernet cabling to connect to the living room for the tv and upstairs for my wife and am getting that upgraded.
Thanks.

CAT5 cables were made to about year 2001.
Possibly the cables are from 2001 or later and are CAT5e which is fine for 10/100/1000 Mb/s.

If the current Whole Home installation is working why touch any of it.
An extra 500Mb/s at the Hub is not going to make a jot of difference to your TVs or to most other WiFi kit when doing normal tasks.

That makes sense. I'm having someone to the ethernet rewiring anyway and they can test that.

Seems as though Cat5 is still fine for 1gig.

They must be then as they were installed about 2008. Thanks.
