Can use CAT6 cable in 10/100 switch?

[supun24]

Hi.. Is there any way to connect CAT6 cable with 10/100 Switch? I have CAT6 cable wires jacked to 10/100 switches and Linksys WAG160N model linksys wireless routers. Please find the attached diagram.

Some times network working. sometimes wireless is not working in some floors. max cable length is used 25 meters. When I ping the routers it will timeout.

I have inserted both IPs in one PC. so.... I can ping both network ranges 192.168.10.xx and 192.168.1.xx.

Please help me.. what is the problem??/

Regards,

You should be able to use cat6. Did you look at the logs from the router at the time of the network failure? If there is an error with the connections, it should be shown in the logs, and lead you to a diagnosis.

Does this issue affect the network at a regular recurring time? How many devices does it affect? Do those devices have anything in common?
