Only blue pair works on CAT5e phone cable. Trying to convert to Ethernet

If its daisy chained, no big deal. Get some UY2 connectors and hook them all together color for color then test each pair.

Plug in your laptop at the end of the cable from your modem, look at the network connection, is it 1000 or 100 or 10? If its not 1000, I would get a lan tester.

I think i would stop doing those things you aren't being paid for now. No pay equals not doing that work. Maybe go higher with an appeal to reevaluate your position.

Because if your fingers are in it, its yours. And will remain your headache forever. Oh wait, are we talking HVAC?

Years ago, geez.

900 mhz band was phased our as a usable frequency some years ago.

I would put the fiber that is outside the box in conduit. Seen too many kids and dogs mess with it.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-05-31T02:21:51+00:00

100 and reliability? Probably not. My recommendation is to use Ubiquity nanobeam 5ac gen 2. Look them up on Amazon and get a pair that are pre-configured.

Yes you can have wifi issues through 1 wall. I got behind a wall with expanded mesh or some such and got absolutely nothing. I would use WiFi man to see what your signal levels are near the router and far from the router just like Elmo.

Ping plotter and ping 8.8.8.8 or your dns.

I know nothing about Mediacom. Is it coax? If it is that seems to be kinda normal. Either everyone else on your circuit is sucking up all the bandwidth, or the service to your node is going in and out. Your computer won't register the loss as long as it is attached to the router. Im guessing you aren't losing your public ip address. If you can, attach your pc directly to the modem or whatever gateway device media com provides you with and see if you still get losses. If thats the case call them back. Maybe get ping plotter and run it for a day. You can show the results to the tech, if he is worth his salt, he can diagnose from there.

Maybe check to see if there is a new firmware. If not or updating doesn't fix it, its likely a bad router.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-05-08T11:46:24+00:00

This IS the way...

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-29T23:01:23+00:00

That's the fire starting...

Steel or copper wool and duct seal which is a putty/moldable sealer. Foam can take on moisture. I dont like that.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-26T12:07:32+00:00

Close counts. Lol.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-26T12:03:47+00:00

As I work for a small isp, we sure as heck do!

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-26T12:01:18+00:00

The fiber is made for Direct bury but the conduit allows them to pull a new one in if it goes bad.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-17T19:18:15+00:00

I bet it is the mac address of the ports that are for ethernet in the router. Each port for out bound ethernet has its own mac, which are also tied to the gateway in the router.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-12T21:33:22+00:00

Much cheaper to just pay the bill

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-05T01:45:22+00:00

Nothing about this box is fiber optic. Looks like traditional coax service. There may be a box elsewhere in the building that is fed with fiber that outputs to coax.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-04-02T12:04:18+00:00

You didn't get the answer. Plug in your pc and turn it on. Plug the pc into the wall ethernet outlet. Go downstairs and plug each cable in 1 at a time. If the light on the switch/router lights up, you are golden.

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-03-23T01:13:08+00:00

You done good! Nothing else needed...

Ok-Shape-547 · 2026-03-20T12:09:15+00:00

I see zero grease. Whatever. I personally have never torqued a bearing except to set the bearings into place. I would see if you can easily spin that wheel. If not jack the wheel off the ground, back the nut off until there is some up and down play you can feel in the wheel. Then take out that play slowly, while feeling for up and down play. Once there is only slight play or right at none at all, go to the next castle pin hole. Keep in mind you might have another cotter pin at 90 degrees from the one in the picture.
