I have some incredible Wifi Kit from ASUS and the speeds are just amazing. But the fact is that low cost wired options are so much faster and reliable.
I've notice that as well as the crimp tools for RJ45 plugs, sockets both in line and wall / surface mounted are a great option.
Folk are confused by the two wiring standards, T568A and T568B, and your Ethernet connector probably has wiring diagrams for both (or possibly none).
It doesn’t matter which scheme you use, since T568A and T568B are both ‘straight through’ configurations. That means that the wires from pins 1 to 8 connect to the corresponding pin at the other end. You can use either scheme. But it’s best to pick one and stick with it for consistency.
You MUST use the same scheme at both ends of the same cable.
Depending on the socket you’ve bought, you might need an impact or punch tool (cheap versions on ebay are £1 on ebay and are fine for domestic use) . These tools are used to push the wires into the connectors.
The #1 issue people have is which colour to use?

Which one should you use in most cases T568B but the real answer depends on how the other end of the cable is wired. Both ends must use the SAME standard. If you have a cable that you are rewiring e.g the plug is broken at one end and you are fixing a replacement then look at the good end and wire to that standard.
