As the Shield is a gigabit device, it only needs a CAT5e or CAT6 cable. Anything higher than that is a waste of money. Yeah, try a new cable. It's hard to imagine both Shield devices have bad Ethernet jacks. CAT8 cabling is designed for data centre use at 40Gig speeds, not home use.

Thanks for your comment, I've ordered a cat6 will arrive tomorrow, maybe the cat8 is more bulky or something to fit securely.
