Fiber optic Anschluss problem

Normally it should work if you connect the LAN ports on the router to these 4 ports.

Which router do you have now?

If you attach the notebook directly to the router, does everything work?

If it were possible, you could put a photo of your connections here.

As I understand it, only four wires (blue/white and brown/white) go to these sockets at the bottom of the cabinet, then that would only be a 100 Mbit/s network instead of a 1Gbit/s network?

Have you even tried connecting a LAN cable from the Internet box to socket 1 and then only using this Anschluss 01/PC in the living room?

I just looked again and I also see a green-yellow and a red-and-white wire there. I was actually assured that 1gbit/s should work here.

I think one is orange + white and I can also see a completely green one

For a 1 Gbit/s network, 8 wires would have to be connected, but you can’t clearly see in the photo whether this is the case with the thick cable at the back of the socket.

Thanks, I’ve now checked because it’s a bit tedious to photograph it. There are definitely exactly these 8 wires, so that should be 100% correct. What next 😛?

If eight wires are actually connected correctly to socket 1, then there could only be a problem with your LAN connection cable. What kind of LAN cables are those?

N.B. Are you 100% sure that the numbers on the bottom match the socket numbers on the top?

I would just connect a LAN cable from the Internet box to socket 1 and then check the individual sockets above.

Maybe I also connected the LAN cable to the wrong places on the modem. Do I have to connect it to one of the 4 Ethernet labels on the modem and then to connection 1 in the box or to the Internet slot on the modem and then to Anschluss 1?

I only have 1 thin LAN cable supplied which is 10 meters long and a 5 meter long LAN cable which was supplied with the TV, but this should be the same. Since I use the TV-Box via WiFi, I theoretically have this cable left over. Otherwise, I still have normal LAN cables (not the flat ones) from the old apartment. Do these actually work?

If you have round 8-pin LAN cables, they would work normally, it says CAT 5 etc.

With the Internet box, it doesn’t matter which of the yellow LAN ports is used, what is important is that the slot in the cupboard is connected to the correct slot at the top of the apartment.

All clear, maybe the cable is actually defective due to a slight bend in the box, I can’t explain it much else. Could you tell me briefly how exactly I have to connect the modem to the 4 ports above? I can’t seem to find any proper instructions for this. Thanks in advance

Normally you can’t do much wrong, in the picture below I have indicated a yellow line, this is where the LAN connection cable comes in, which is then plugged into slot 1 in the cupboard and the PC would then have to be connected to the corresponding PC slot at the top of the apartment via a LAN cable be connected and then it should work normally.

It is important that the LAN socket at the top of the apartment matches the bottom of the cupboard.

Firstly: the router does not belong in a metal box. This is an absolute aberration.

Secondly: the competent electricians, whose operations are organized in the VSEI, have good offers to convert it quickly. The router usually belongs centrally in the house, usually in the living room 🙂

In the photo there are 4 RJ45 ports and 2 LAN cables. 99.99% of the time this is one of those multimedia installations where 4 wires are connected per Anschluss.

The only clean solution here is to connect all 8 wires of the cable on both sides to just one RJ45-Anschluss yourself or through an electrician.

As a temporary solution, you could also try manually setting the PC’s driver settings to 100Mbit/s full duplex:

Success is not guaranteed, but it’s worth a try.

The socket is only connected with 2 pairs of wires. That’s why only 100Mb/s is possible.

@Lindi91 it’s best to have it measured with a measuring device. Pin assignment: Socket data (PC): 1,2,3,6 Telephony: 4,5,7,8 on the connection socket ([See here](http://www.heise.de/ct/hotline/telefon-an -the-LAN-socket-320620.html)). The rack is fully occupied??? Can’t tell exactly. In order to have a sensible installation, pull a second Cat 6 Ethernet cable to each of the sockets and rack.

You still have free ports for the R+M modules. If you want to do it yourself, I can get you the materials.

I would unsubscribe from the Swisscom technician.

The installation is fine. If he determines this, he would have to charge you the stake. I hope he does this too.

The IT and telephone installation is also split over a cable.

If you can do this, it has the disadvantage that only Fast Ethernet is available. The advantage is that a telephone Anschluss would also be possible directly in every room. There are also variants where, in such a case, a fully occupied UKV line is simply pulled. This is an entrepreneurial option that I prefer.

Anyway, that’s the market! This is also a recognized rule of technology in 2016, published by the umbrella associations VSEI and electrosuisse with the collaboration of Swisscom and Swisscable Lobby.

But what is the saddest thing is the new Swisscom routers themselves. These cannot negotiate the 4 wire connections (lol).

99.9% of all switches on the market can do this. This is also a market reality, even if others probably see it differently. That’s a FACT!

When it came to the hardware design of the Internet boxes, they probably used the cheapest Giga NIC they could find. You may also have chosen the slightly more expensive one because it is installed less often but has fewer functions, assuming that more expensive is a good thing. You can twist and turn it however you want. Only de facto Habashes could have made this decision. No idea about the market…

Contact your trusted electrician.

Variants are:

• Fiber extension if desired. Material directly from the wholesaler.
• Replace the link or the connections with full occupancy
• Intermediate a simple switch. E.g. Netgear GS105E
• Combination of several variants
• and many more, thanks to multimedia distributors everything is possible. Even the handling of Bschisscom’s dirty material!
