Cat5 what router?

My experience is solid is better but do ensure you have the right plugs they are different for solid and stranded, that aside I wouldn't suggest using stranded for a 30m run due to the reduced performance.

Yep, I bought a pack of plugs, which claimed to be suitable for solid cores - I just couldn't see any difference to the usual versions.

In essence a stranded plug has a single spike centrally into the wire whereas a solid has 2 spikes with a gap between them.

That is a very simplified description and not all are obvious.
