Daughter bought a new house
It has 1 lan cables (8wire) beside each Shaw Cable Coaxial cable
I spliced (twisted wires) color to color all 5 sets of lan wires together in the basement
Connected the computer to the router - computer works
then connected the router to the lan outlet in the wall on 2 floor
then connected the lan cable on the main floor to the Xbox
But the Xbox can not see the route
I moved the shaw router to the main floor and connected
from the router to the Xbox and the Xbox works
Then connected the router lan cable to the wall and computer on second floor and computer can not see the router, no connection or internet
Bought a lan cable tester and all lines are correct ---no opens, shorts, or crossovers
Tested lan jack from router end to Xbox Lan Jack all good
Not sure why they do not work
I removed the lan cable insulation but Does the lan cable wire have a varnish and other coating that would prevent a signal passing through the twisted wire connection
I see telephone and other lan cable terminated on punch blocks -- do the punch blocks scrape the wire for a better connection
Thank for your help as I can not figure this out
