I'm running into issues trying to get a Netgear FS605v3 switch working in my basement. The switch works fine when connected directly to my modem (on the main floor of my house), however when it's connected into the wall jack in my basement (e157358) it won't work (tested by having multiple devices attached to the switch and unable to connect to the internet). However, I can take the same ethernet cable running from the wall-plate to the switch and plug the other end into the back of my PC instead, and instantly I'm connected. So it's not as though there is a signal loss between the modem and that wall plate. I've tried using multiple cat5e cables and power cycling both my modem and switch, with no luck.
I don't know if this could be an issue, but the wall-jack on the main floor of my house is an RCA CTPH557, and I'm pretty sure the default wiring configuration is t568a (the instructions for the wall plate say: orange stripe->Blue, orange solid->orange, green stripe->black, blue solid->red, blue stripe->green, green solid->yellow, brown stripe->brown, brown solid->white/gray). To make it a straight-through I had to wire the wall jack in my basement as an A as well. So now, I'm wondering if that could be the issue? It works well enough if I connect any device into the wall jack directly, but maybe the A standard isn't recognized by the switch for some reason? In any case, I'm considering trying to change the wiring of the two wall-jacks to t568b, but when I asked netgear's support about it they said it shouldn't make a difference. Are they right? Is there something else I'm missing?
