Somebody probably told him to replace to box on the first floor and he took the wrong one out.

Iāve been guilty of that before, but definitely not at this end. Heading into the attic today to see if Iād done something wrong originally.
The reason that sounds like an ordeal, is because it kinda is. I may be up there for a while, so I have to secure the cats like Iām going away for a couple of days. One of them got to the top of the attic ladder once, and I was able to nab him purely because he stopped to marvel at the DisneyLand heād discovered. His life mission since has been to get back up there - and his nickname is āMagyver.ā

It actually is. Following my project of re-ripping all my Blu Rays, I have found that some content has a bit rate too high for my WiFi network. Anything with a grainy picture - notably BSG and 4K Star Wars - will not play over WiFi.

Using my line tester, my office line gets 8 greens from the attic to the network closet, through the keystone patch panel to the end of the jumper cable. When I plug that jumper cable into the network switchā¦nada.
I hate this shit so fucking much.
FTR, yes, all the RJ45s in the attic were wired in reverse. I think the original sin mustāve been on the patch panel in the network closet, because I remember reversing all the RJ45s in the attic once during the initial installation.
Now most of the lines are working fine. There are a couple that are not, but that is because - in my hubris-driven-haste yesterday - I didnāt give myself enough wire to push into the connectors to make a good connection. I was trying to save wire, and I ended up wasting much more than I wouldāve saved.
The office line has me completely at a loss, though.
