I've been debugging slow performance of my home LAN at http://prazefarm.co.uk/ and I've found the Ubiquity router to blame. http://twitter.com/kaihendry/status/244026238736420864 I initially too thought it was a cat5e cable to blame, but after testing using iperf 2.x between machines, I discovered it was the router to blame. However if you do suspect the cable, the big thing to watch out for is they are fully populated, i.e. all 8 of the connectors are wired. Take the offending PowerAPN router out the network: http://prazefarm.co.uk/network/network-config.txt and I get ~980 M/s throughput instead of ~80. Word of caution: Don't run iperf on the router itself. For example iperf -c to the TP-1043ND running openwrt & iperf, you will get results ~140 since it doesn't have enough power to generate the bandwidth for the test IIUC. Test between two laptops that are able to generate ~980 M/s using iperf between themselves easily when directly connected to each other.
