    cat5e or Cat 6

    Like what was said, unless you plan on switching every nic, switch, etc to gb, pointless. Just becuase you have a GB server, but 100mb workstations, you will never transfer past 100mbs. If you have alot of cables running together or lotta media interference, whether it be a server room...

    why does my desktop get 100 mbps and my wireless only get 54 mbps?

    One thing you need to realize is that there are different kinds of network speeds. Alot of users misinterpret this and think something that really isnt true. Its like the people who go to Best buy and buy the 54 Mbps routers and think thats how fast there computer will browse the internet...

I say this, because its not installed by default, and not having it installed wont affect the way your laptops connect to the ap for internet, but will affect, why you cant see the shared documents and files on the main...
