[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16851930, member: 51947"] cat5e-cat6 max run is <350ft, I keep it well under 300ft inside building due to EM interference and for sake of the PoE switch's power supply as I'm often running PoE for ip cameras. Fiber is honestly the best long term answer. 1,000ft is nothing as there is quite a bit on the consumer (albeit more "pro"sumer) market rated for gigabit up to 2km or just over 1.24 miles (bleeding edge of the tech is 64 miles for signal/noise without a repeater) You just would need a pair of gigabit or 2.5gb fiber to ethernet (sometimes called media) adaptors (a 2.5g is bit of future proofing over just gigabit/ 1gb), one at where it enters the garage next to where they have the gateway or modem setup, and another back in your house where the fiber ultimately comes in, it can be plugged into either a router/wifi or a switch and a wireless access point (depending on if the device in the garage is a modem or gateway (which is both a modem and router) but you can still run a gateway in pass thru mode (makes it act like just a modem) and hook up a nice router behind it at the house then the corresponding cable. You just have to be a bit picky with some of them as some will work out of the box, and others require configuration. With the fiber cable(s) (some standards are single strands some are pairs) the tricky part is actually going terminating the ends, but they are easy to burry just using a spade and they won't carry an electric charge (lightning isn't going to follow it back into the house and fry your stuff.) Best of all you'll not lose any speed or increase the latency vs going over radio. I'll be a bit more physical work especially getting it buttied in the treeline but likely cheaper, more resilient to weather or RF interference. The termination tools are not the cheapest but if you can find someone who does this work and wants to make a bit on the side to terminate a few cables it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
