Re: Netgear.

Actually, there is just a couple of wiring standards. Here's a replacement link for the first one, that page apparently went away: http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5e.aspx

You should be wiring ALL the cables to the 568-B wiring diagram. The only difference is the colors of the pairs, either type of cable will work. The pairs are VERY important, they MUST be wired to the correct pins and in the correct polarity.

CAT5 and CAT5e cables are wired identically. AAMOF, so are CAT6 cables, though they use slightly different connectors since the wire gauge is larger than the others.
