MR60 will not connect to internet unless directly connected to back of ISP modem/router

New MR60 w/satellites.  I've tried w/two different ISP's modem/routers (Arris TG3452 and ASUS T-Mobile CellSpot) (long story, but I have both active in the house right now).  MR60 will go blue light, w/internet access if I connect directly to the back of either router, but not if I connect through Cat 5/6 (I think it's 5 in the wall), though I've verified the in-wall w/a channel tester.  PS - I also know the in-wall is good, because I'm using it right now, on this computer, and getting 300Mbps down. Thoughts?

Some devices are more tolerant of sketchy cables/punch pins than others. If it works directly connected but not when running through your wall plates, something is wrong with the walls plates. It might be good enough for a computer that has the ability to compensate but evidently not for the router.
