But now, you don’t have to worry about it. I will share the ultimate guide through which you can do it yourself and check your ethernet LAN cable is in good condition or not.

Here you can test your LAN cable wire in two ways

1. Using LAN cable tester.
2. Without LAN cable tester.

So let’s have a look one by one.

Using Ethernet LAN Cable Tester.

Tester helps you to find cable is in good condition or not. If the signal is not transmitting properly, its reading is unparallel to the transmitting and receiving tester.

This type of reading will show when, cable has any physical damage, sharp bend, or connected Ethernet LAN RJ 45 pinout in the wrong way.

Without Ethernet LAN Cable Tester.

Here you can check your device and modem or router fully inserted otherwise it will show an internet issue.

This point you have to keep in mind, usually at the back of the modem where cable has to be inserted has two indicating light “Yellow and Green”.

Which indicates signal strength and cable wire problems.

Green means cable wire is working normally and transmitting good signal strength to the connected device and Yellow means, fault somewhere in the ethernet LAN cable wire. So you have to check the wire.

How Do I Fix My Ethernet Port In Wall Not Working?

Today you are using 4G, 5G network, Wifi network, or broadband network. Can you imagine those times, when people uses 2G networks which is insane?

Following are the top reasons that are why your ethernet walls port is not working.

Step 1. Check LAN RJ 45 Connector Is Connected Properly Into The Modem.

This usually happens, often we are in hurry and don’t insert RJ 45 connectors properly. This results internet issues.

So, remove the connector and re-insert it again. Usually, the modem has two indicating lights yellow and green.

If you inserted the connector correctly, it indicates green light otherwise shows yellow light. If green is blinking, it also means it is working correctly.

So check, your router RJ 45 port is connected the right way or not.

Step 2. Check LAN Cable Wires Are Connected Right In RJ 45 Port.

If you have a little bit of knowledge of electronics then it is good for you, because many persons, they don’t have knowledge of electronics and if they connect cable wire to RJ 45 itself, they made mistake. Results wire shortage or internet connection issue.

Generally, RJ 45 port has indicating sign, which helps you to connect wires correctly. So if you are a beginner and don’t know how to connect wires then you can get the help of it.

Now after connecting all the wires correctly, insert the port into the modem and check your internet is working or still has ethernet wall port problems.

Step 3. Check Wall Jack And Patch Panel.

Here you have to simply examine the connector, might be connector get damaged and corrosion.

It sounds strange but it’s true, due to moisture in the air the connector port and jack both can corrosion.

Over time due to corrosion cables are not capable to carry signals properly.

To examine the jack and connectors, and if you really feel it get damaged or corrosion, just replace it with a new one and now check it is working or not.

Step 4. Check Ethernet LAN Cable.

Over the period ethernet cable degrade its efficiency, so if you are using cable for a long time then this can be the reason then, how will you find if actually ethernet will lose its efficiency or get damaged?

So check all these, all you need is an ethernet cable tester. This tester will help you to find the loop that is creating all the issues.

If your home has mice, then you should definitely check wire using the ethernet cable tester.

All you need to do is, connect both ends of the wires to both testers. If the notification LED lights are moving simultaneously. It means the wire is in good condition.

If lights are back to back or forth and back. It means the wire is damaged somewhere and the signal is not transmitting properly that’s why your ethernet wall port is not working.

If cable wire and RJ 45 are didn’t connect right, this also results in back and forth of notification in the ethernet cable tester. So check and adequately examine all these things.

Step 5. Replace The Wall Jack And Patch Panel.

If you did above all the solutions, but still didn’t find the actual culprit then, this can heal your pain, you checked and examined the wall’s jack and patch panel, both are fine as new and there isn’t any corrosion there.

But still, it is not working then, do a step ahead and replace them both with a new one and check. It is working.

Step 6. Examine And Replace The Ethernet Cable.

If you have some extra ether LAN cable wire, one step you can do is use that wire instead of the previous one and connect with another device, not that one you are having an issue with.

Now check, is your device working with ether wall port?

Step 7. Call Your Service Provider.

You are here, it means above all tips and tricks didn’t work for you. You did all the possible activities that can fix your wall port problems but didn’t get a satisfying result.

Maybe your router has some big problems that’s why all the above tips didn’t work in your case.
