GS105 Unmanaged assigning 192.254.106.x
Hi, I have a simple setup at home Modem/router (DHCP) --> straight-cable --> GS105 --> patch cable --> AppleTV --> PS4 When I co...
Cable testers are a gray area. I've had cables test out perfectly fine using one but not work when tested between devices. Unless you have a pretty high end tester, they just pass a current down the line. If the receiver picks it up, its good. But sometimes sketchy connections are good enough for current but not data transfer. So try different cables.
Try bringing the apple tv and the switch right next to the router and use 2x 6ft cables to connect them. That ensures its nothing in the walls, the patch panel, or those cables causing issues.

So.... although the straight-through cable from router to switch (approx 20m length) was working technically fine with the AppleTV I decided to connect two new RJ45 connectors. It appeared the wiring was not correct (although all pins were straight-through connected, it was not White/Orange - Orange - White Green - Blue - White Blue - Green - White Brown - Brown). I think due to length of cable, this might have caused the issue. Indeed; do not trust the cable tester blindly đ
Glad you got it working!
