why my hand made ethernet cable produce blinking orange line on modem
i use ethernet cat6, T568B wiring method. what has gone wrong?
The problem is not with the way i do my ethernet. I have tested them on different modems, work fine.
Why out-of-box CAT 5e works, with green light, speed 500Mbps.
and my hand-made CAT 6, creates orange blinking light, speed <100Mbps.
If i try to hand-made CAT 5e and it works, , Something is wrong with Netgear modem.
So, bought ones work fine.
Your hand crimped ones don't.
But your hand crimped ones work with other devices.
Maybe the netgear needs a better quality of end crimp than other devices so it has better connections/throughput/less drops?
