Hi pjoss8667,
It requires a Cat5 ethernet but you can still use the Cat6 if you have one already. Cat5 supports up to 2.5GBase-T, unlike the Cat6 which supports up to 10G. So technically, you don't need to use the Cat6 as this device can only handle up to 1G.
If you have any questions, you can also check out our NETGEAR community.
Best regards,
