So I have comcast. The wifi in my house is working fine. The router is in the basement. I wanted to set up an access point on the second floor as the signal is pretty weak. I connected the ethernet to my computer and into the cat6 in the wall, tried both, no internet connection. Lugged my computer down into the basement and hooked a router into the modem, was able to set up wifi just fine... I hooked my computer into the router and internet works just fine. So I hooked the cable to the modem, then hooked the modem to the WAN port on router, then hooked a LAn port on router to my network switch. Went upstairs to try again. No internet. I came down, hooked up directly to the switch, and the internet works (very fast).
I ran an end-to-end test on the cable in question, and it says that the cat6 I tested was connected to the ethernet that is going into the switch in the basement. It was the same cable. Normally i'd chalk it up to being a faulty cable, except no other cat6 outlets in the house work.
I tried it on my windows box, and got the following error in my "network diagnosis": Ethernet does not have valid ip config
