I have a router in my cellar and two lan paths out of the cellar to rooms in higher floors. My main PC connects directly to the router - internet no problem. If I connect a computer to lan1 then I get the same internet no problem, but on trying the third connection I get the message that the IP connection is not recognised (with a 10mps transfer rather than 100) and no internet.
I tested using exactly the same cables between the router and the lan1 and the lan2 to remove any possibility of portable cables being the problem (same between the lan1 and lan2 outs to the same connected computer).
The question is whether the lan cable 2 has been damaged, or could this be caused by something else that Im not network proficient to recognize - there is a huge amount of building work behind the cables (so they are impossible to replace without levelling the house) and I really need to use lan2 as an access point to make my house more wifi friendly.
Any guidance appreciated.
