Hi All,
I have recently got a wired network installed at my house. The cable I used was cat6 ftp cable.
I bought a cat 6 patch panel from ebay.
The router I'm using is a technicolor tg.
So the issue I see is very odd,
I can use the cat5 testing kit from one side to the other and it shows me that all 8 wires are working fine. So I know things are working. Now when I connect that port on the patch panel directly to the router and it's correspondent wall port to the laptop I get nothing, no dhcp address. But I can connect my laptop directly to the router and I definitely get a dhcp address.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong? The end cables I'm using are cat5 which are connected to the cat6 patch panel. I've used cat 6 cables too but still no luck.
What could be wrong? Both sides are configured in B wiring.
Any advice? Maybe I've got a dodgy patch panel?
Thanks in advance
