Hello,
I am new to this forum and also new to any knind of networking of any knind. I have a problem....
I bought a 100' Cat5e cable off of amazon and ran it through the wall and to the downstairs TV. I hooked it up and everything worked great. So I wanted to install flush mount wall plates. So I cut the preinstalled connecters that came with the cable off and installed Cat5e jacks I purchased from Home Depot on each end. I then took two short cables and connected one from the downstairs wall jack to my TV and the other from the router to the upstairs wall jack. To my suprise it wouldnt work. I tried all kinds of different wiring configurations thinking that maybe the wiring needed to be reversed somehow or something but I cannot for the life of me figure out what needs to be done. Please help!
