Thank you for all the replies - you were right, the problem was
definitely in the socket connection. I dismantled it, applied the
age-old technique of blowing on it, re-wired it, and it works great!
Thanks again!

Hi all,
I have what I suspect is a network cable problem but I'd be very
grateful for any hints/tips from the forum (before I give up and resort
to wireless, which is a fairly weak signal).
Here's what I've tried:
I plug my Boom into an ethernet wall socket. The cable from the wall
socket runs
perhaps the wall socket connection itself is 'flakey'? Do you have a
loopback connector? If so, plug it into the socket and see if you get a
link light at the switch end? Yo do get a link light when the SB is
plugged in, don't you?
How is the switch 'uplinked' to the router, if any? Some devices

I agree that the socket connections are
You may also have a wire order mismatch. For ethernet you need to make
sure the color pairs match (generally TIA/EIA T568B standard) in order
for the signal to make it to the other end. If you swap the colors,
you will end up with crosstalk that will make even 10mbps fail.
Changing the duplex

Try running a fresh cable outside the walls from Boom to switch as a
test. Change anything?
If that works well, plug same cable into wall jack and test. Could show
problem inside walls.
