I have a setup whereby we have a telecoms cabinet in a cupboard just off our reception, it has a belkin n1 vision adsl router in it which works perfectly. We have a room at the far end of the building which has been rented out and now needs connectivity. The needs are small ( two laptops and a network printer) I have purchased a belkin N150 (cable version) which has the separate Internet port.
I can plug in a 1mt or 10mt cable from the N1 to the N150 internet port and it works perfectly, all lights are green, it establishes a WAN IP from the N1 and gives out IPs to a test laptop and also keeps the two networks seperate, so far so good.
However, when I ran a 50mt cable to the room at the far end and plug it in it just sits flashing orange on the Modem/WAN status light as if it's not getting a signal, the cable tests fine using a hand tester.
Is it a strength of signal problem I have? I've also used a Netgear 824 instead of the N1 Vision with no success.
