I want to position  my Fritz!box 7530 modem in a different place in my house. Currently it is in the garage because that is where the ONT box is. Can I have a cable 10 metres long connecting the ONT to the modem? Is a standard Cat 6 cable sufficient? 

 

 

 

Also has anyone had any experience with the Fritz!Repeater that 2 Degrees sell?

 

 

 

I need a good WiFi signal into my lounge.

 

 

 

Many thanks

Yes, just a standard Cat 6 (or Cat 5e) patch cable will work, and 10 metres would be fine. The cable length limit is 100 metres, so you can even go longer if you need to.

A cat 6 cable will be fine at 10 times that distance. Even 5e will be fine for your needs.
