I just have an editorial comment. I haven't put wire in houses for at least five years. Wireless has become so good that I don't see any reason to mess with wired.

My computer is not set up for WiFi, so I ran a cable from her office to mine by using two Cat 5e plates and cutting the ends off a wire and screwing onto the terminals on the back. I did this in the last house without problems. But for some reason it doesn't work here. I used a different 5e line and ran through the house and it works. So I know both the modem and my computer work fine.
I've checked and rechecked my connections and, though I've switched a few wires, the colors are the same on both sides: Clockwise from the top the colors on the plate are blue, black, orange, red, green, yellow, brown and white. The colors from the wire are blue, blue/white, orange, orange/white, green, green/white, brown, and brown/white respectively. It should work.
I'm wondering if there is anything else that could cause a problem. Could running it across a 110v line interfere with it?
