Conduit from House to Shop (alien.top)

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm trying to run an internet connection in my shop. Cable run will be approximately 220 to 250 ft. I have starlink on the house roof, and I've bypassed the Gen1 router that comes with the dish to connect to a TP-Link Archer AX55 Wireless AX3000 instead. I plan to run Cat6 or Cat7 direct burial in a pipe (was looking at standard black water pipe) and then have another AX3000 at the other end. Questions:

Given my starting speed maxes out at about 250 Mbps, would a faster cable make a difference given the distance?
Does the conduit material matter as far as type of pipe?
Suggestions on sourcing cable?
Any other important considerations? (I know where my buried water lines are, there's no buried electrical or other pipes)
