I got some non shielded and shielded plugs. The pairs are a smaller diameter then the holes in the cable guide thing on the shielded plug so the wires swap places.
I need to run about 30-50m from router downstairs to second WiFi router upstairs to replace power plugs.
I have terminated around 60m length with the shielded plugs.
plugged into upstairs power plug and and router and getting file transfer of 8MBs and 80mbs download. Downstairs router to upstairs router I get, “Ethernet” doesn’t have a valid IP configuration.
I’m guessing dodgy plug so I’m going to swap to un shielded plugs. Do I need shielded for a 50m run?
The plan is run a length from downstairs router to under the stairs to a switch then to upstairs router.
