I ordered 50 foot of CAT6 wire to connect my new receiver to my router for a wired connection for firmware updates.

This is the suggested method to keep from bricking the Denon 3312ci.

These firmware updates are said to take in the neighborhood of 40 minutes.

I'm hoping CAT6 will work the same as CAT5. Able to plug into Ethernet ports and transmit data, etc.

The reason I ordered the CAT6 is because of bad reviews for the cheap CAT5. 50 ft of CAT6 was $11 on Amazon.
