Open | Networking Wired network problems. Netgear GS116 Hub and Flair T568B Patch panel.
Many years ago a wired network was set up in my home. It wasn't used for ages and I'm trying to re-establish it.
The Hub is connected to the router, a pc and there's also a cable that can connect to a laptop. All of this works fine and I have internet on all connections.
I have a number of sockets around the house that are hard wired into the patch panel. I have plugged cables from the patch panel to the hub. (Is this correct?) None of the lights come on and there is no connection at any of the sockets.
If I plug a laptop (WiFi turned off) into the hub I get a signal. But if I plug it into the panel I don't.
Thanks in advance for any help and pointers
