I moved into a small apartment with Cat 5 run throughout and want to run phone and ethernet over these lines. I have spent some time trying to get this to work but haven't had much luck. Wondering if anyone has any advice?
The set up is:
I have two phone lines; one for upstairs and one for my office in the garage. The garage line carries the DSL service.
From the MPO I have two wires that go into a small phone jack. I have attached my DSL splitter to this jack. DSL splitter has phone out and DSL out. DSL out runs to a 4 outlet router. Phone runs to a 3-way splitter (I may run this to a punch down block....)
Using the Cat5, I have pulled the blue and white wires away from the rest allowing about 6 inches of wire and put an RJ11 jack onto it. I plug this into the splitter. The other end is already connected to the phone jack and works great.
I have then pulled the Orange and Green pair (still twisted) and cut them about 1 inch from the jacket. I then put them into an RJ45 jack into
1,2,3 and 6. (OW/O/GW/G) This I plugged into the router and the other end into my computer. This DID NOT WORK.Help??
Thanks!!!
