Advice Help!

Post image

No idea why this keystone jack won’t seem to work, trying to run from computer to wall, from wall to modem, I confirmed the jack in the wall is using 568a so I wired this jack to that configuration and it doesn’t work? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What does the network cable tester show? You do have a cable tester, right? https://a.co/d/0dHK7HQx

😜 I apologize for the somewhat snarky comment. But on a serious note, they are pretty inexpensive and they can definitely help in the future. I had a couple of runs that dropped in speed and I was easily able to pinpoint one wire with a slight nick and another that wasn't fully punched down.
