I have been using DSL and all the computers have been working. As is
stands I have an active DSL that works every time I try with all my
computers.
I am switching to Charter. Charter is not working in every situation.
I bought a new netgear router. I have connected it to the Charter
modem.
I have a computer sitting right beside the modems. I have a factory
made cable plugged into it. (I have tried 2 factory cables)
A strange thing happens. When I plug the computer into the DSL the
DSL light is green but the computer network light is yellow, but it
connects to the Internet anyway.
When plug the cable into the Netgear, the netgear light is green and
the computer light is green. It still works.
I also have a CAT 5 cable that goes into the basement with a switch
with 2 computers plugged into it that works with the DSL. When I plug
the cable into the netgear it doesn't work.
If a factory cable is giving different ready lights and still works, I
am guessing that the ready lights are not reliable way to tell
anything.
