I have just finished installing a wiring panel in my garage. I have completed all the wiring with the TIA-568-A standard with cat5e. I have my phone/dsl coming in on the blue/white blue wires. I run this initially thru a leviton dsl filter which has an rj45 connection to send unfiltered signal out to the modem and then I am also able to patch the filtered signal back into the rest of the telephone patch panel. All my phone lines work. From the dsl filter, I go to the modem and then to an 8 port router. From the router I am running cat5e that is terminated with "crimp" style rj45 plugs at the router and then "punch down" style rj45 connectors on the the other end. When plugging into punch down connectors, I get nothing. If I connect my laptop directly into the router with a store bought ethernet cable, it works. I am assuming this means I did something wrong with the cables I made, but I dont know what because I was very careful not to make mistakes.
On the "crimp down" router end of the cable, I have all 8 wires connected. On the "punch down" end, I have only connected the blue/ white blue wires as this is what is carrying the dsl signal. Do they all have to be connected?
