House Pre-wired Ethernet Outlets not working
Our house has pre-wired ethernet cables and outlet/ports in the wall (Figure 4). Only 3 of them work, and I'm trying to get one of the others working. Two of the working ones is in the same outlet pl...
Who put the Ethernet plugs on the end of the blue wires? I'm guessing NOT the Telus tech.
I expect the wiring pattern does not match (there is an A pattern and a B pattern), or is wired for phone, not ethernet. I expect the tech simply made sure the jack at both ends of the cable he/she used were pattern matched to get it working.The white jack shown in your photo is a phone jack, not ethernet. What wire is connected to it, as often CAT5 is used for phone lines?
You might want to look up A/B wiring patterns, and make sure both ends of each CAT5 cable are wired the same.
Also, the ports on the NAH won't light unless there is a device connected to the other end that can respond to the router signals.
LordswornLance Google internet A and B color order. Open up your wall outlets and check them. Might be wrong redo the connections. If all the rj45s are correct at router then likely wall the outlet wrong.
