Ethernet ports in room don't work
My main issue currently is that the ethernet ports in the rooms of my townhouse aren't working, more specifically the one in my room. Now I've tried going into the basement where my modem is located to try route connection to this ethernet port. I've been using Cat 6+ wires so there really should be no problem with what I've been using. Both wires work when connected to my router in the living room. The yellow wire is what connects the modem to the ethernet port in my living room which is connected to my router. I've been trying with the grey wire next to it to connect the modem to the ethernet port in my room. I've connected the ethernet wire to all the 4 data ports on the bottom of the modem and also connected it to each of the 8 possible connections and haven't had the light on the modem signaling connection (It says Data1, Data2 etc. and lights up for when it connects like the router one). At this point I'm unsure if I require my router to be in my room or in the basement. I'm also wondering if I need to connect to the ethernet upstairs in some way. I've only plugged in my laptop into the ethernet port while I messed with things downstairs so would that mean that the modem wouldn't light up green?. I really am done with this issue. It should really just be a plug in and play deal but I'm just missing something.
