In my apartment, I have a non powered ethernet splitter that feeds to ports in other rooms. If I plug a cable into one of the jacks in another room and test the pins, I get a signal with a multimeter. If I unplug my router from the splitter, I don't get the signal anymore. So it appears that the connection is indeed reaching my router. But if I plug a device into that same jack, I cannot get an ip nor can I ping my router.
Any thoughts for what else might be happening? I'm a little sketched out by the non-powered splitter....
Edit: Sounds like it is indeed the splitter. Thanks for the help.
