I don’t have any internet and the lights just glow solid. Is that a indicator of an error?

    Internet is a series of tubes. Looks like you got the pipes clogged. Try pulling back some of your data and try again.

    Newer “fat pipes” are more resilient.

    It’s up to the hardware vendor to code the lights. You should see if you can find who makes the chip and get an idea of what they mean.

    If you get both lights with no cable connected at both ends, you have a hardware issue.

    Both lights could mean full speed, or half duplex, or a wiring error.

    No blink blinky means no activity usually

    What is the device? If it’s a computer, what os? What motherboard or specific model?

    Do other devices work on that same cable? What is the other end plugged in to?

        I see the problem. You’ve caused an infinite loop. Gotta cut one of the cables so the data can get out.

          It’s really bad design having cables like that. You need to shift them all over by one so you can have a port for intake and for outflow.

          Not a bad plan for storing packets for travel though.

          I went ahead and mounted this in the rack. I cut every other loop and then wired the free ports into the core switch.

          I think made sure STP was off on all devices. (That’s how you avoid malware)

        Why are you taking pictures during a broadcast? Can’t you hear what they are saying? Must be stormy.

    Probably you have an LG TV, but seriously it could be solid network activity or an issue with the device
