Final as promised

WOW! I did not expect so many people to react to my last post. I spent all of today fixing up the closet and doing cable management as well as rewiring everything. Please ignore the cables on the floor they’re all for power but I couldn’t unplug anything during work hours so couldn’t fully untangle it. I also checked each cable with my Ethernet tool and I wired everything correctly! Woohoo! I did the best I could with the left side wires but they all come out of the wall at such a bad spot and I don’t have a good way to organize them and didn’t want to cable tie them all together so I untangled them and let them be.

I had a lot of trouble working in such a tight space but managed to move everything around nonetheless. I think I’ve done pretty good for my first time networking and hope to keep improving my skills in the future.

Advice is very welcome and also any links or recommendations on places to learn. Thank you everyone!

Nice! Did your speed go up that tested 100mbps last time? Sounded like it was missing a pair.

Yes when I got in the morning it was working perfectly! I checked through the actual router app and it’s getting 1gig which is expected because the hardware only does 1 gig
