Hi,
I was working on repairing a client's LAN the other week. My cable tester
showed all 8 wires connected & in sequence, but there was no connection
between the router & the PC. On inspecting the connections, I saw that the
"trou de cul" who had done the original install had 1 pair going to 1&2,
next pair to 3&4, then 5&6 & 6&7, which is not standard! I re-did the
connectors, in the correct sequence, & everything was fine.
My question: if all the wires are there & not mixed up (1-1, 2-2, etc), how
come the router had a problem, & how come my $150 (more than the router!)
tester didn't find the fault? Note that a cross-over cable worked OK, & the
installed cables are straight-thru.
I guess I'll give back the tester - another shop has them for $35!
Regards,
