Cat6 Garden/office- cable tested ok - but no internet?
Hi everyone
Wonder if you can help me over the final hurdle of getting hardwired connection in my garden office. I think I'm nearly there but just not getting an internet connection.. I've ran a Cat6 cable from my router to my garden office- around 30m away (in cable ducting)- all inside the walls. I've cable tested from the router end to the face plate in the garden office- where the CAT6 cable terminates. All lights on the tester light up sequentially at both ends- so looks ok in principle. Its just a basic cable tester with lights numbered 1-8. I Unfortunately, when I connect my laptop via another cat6 patch cable in the garden/office from the face plate- there is no LAN connection at all/no internet at all? I've tried the following a few times: Resetting Asus router Swapping cables over. Rebooting laptop Laptop works fine when connected to ethernet or wifi in house. Virgin fibre speeds around 450MPS. The CAT6 cable is high quality -(solid copper) as I've already ran the cable to a distant bedroom earlier about 25m away and this has worked fine. Not sure if I should just re-do all the connections from the router faceplate to the faceplate in the office? Thanks in advance. Norf |

Have you connected it at the router end using the same patch cable, and it works ?
[ i.e. just cutting out the 30m ] |

Hi
Yes, I've connected my laptop directly into the router via another cat6 patch cable and it works fine. There's a LAN connection with internet straightaway. Thanks |

Hi,
Yes I've tried the same patch cable from the router to laptop- works fine. However using the same patch cable from the face plate in the Garden-office to the laptop - there is no internet. Thank for your help |

Logically re-doing the connections is the way to go - you have a 50/50 chance of picking the right faceplate!
Hopefully you have enough slack in the wire. In a worst case are you able to pull the wire through the conduit? If so, you could pull a new wire through - obviously not the first choice. |
