why my hand made ethernet cable produce blinking orange line on modem
i use ethernet cat6, T568B wiring method. what has gone wrong?
hi, thanks a lot for following -up.
The interesting thing is that i have tested my hand-made ethernet cable with RJ45 tester (etc. cable tester), and all the lights from 1 to 8 is light up correctly.
I don't know if netgear needs special wiring instruction. I tried the netgear provided ethernet cable and it lights up green as expected, but i just dont know why my hand-made not working.
Did you test different ethernet cable? CAT6 is recommended.
yes, i had cat 6. if this hand-made cable works with other modem, it means that netgear modem has some very special requirement.
So you did try a pre-made/Mfrs cable with this modem to see if it worked and had same issue?
yes, the premade came with the box, work fine. so i am curious on what is the difference.
