I think I have one Ethernet cable in the walls that connect to 2 rooms. One room has internet, the second room shows a yellow exclamation on the Ethernet icon. How can I get both rooms to connect?
How I came to this conclusion:
I recently moved into a rather new apartment and all rooms are fitted with Ethernet ports in the wall which connect to a box in the kitchen wall. I’ve been using internet fine on the PC in one room but I want to hook up another PC in the living room too. When I hooked the second PC up in the living room, windows was showing a yellow exclamation on the Ethernet icon saying I have no internet access. I tried unplugging all the Ethernet cables in the kitchen wall to see which one is connected to the living room, and when I unplugged one of the Ethernet cables, both the living room and other room’s internet showed as disconnected leading me to believe they are either sharing one Ethernet cable or connected to something else that I don’t see. or I’m just missing something.
