I just bought 20 meters of UTP (CAT-5) cable with RJ45 connectors.
At first I thought it was a Router problem, but then I switched to my old 1 meter long cable and the internet worked perfectly.
I also noticed that when I inserted the 20meters to the jack port, it didn't light up.
So I checked the cable if it had any extreme bends and I figured if I could straighten them out it would work.
After doing so, I insert the other end to the router--- the router light blinks! then is gone again. I tried to repeat but with no success.
