Could there be a possible failure in the port?
Hey! Your Cat6 port might be experiencing issues due to a faulty connection or damage. The random drops could happen if the port isn’t properly seated or has worn contacts. Even if it seems fine at first, internal damage can cause intermittent behavior. Check for visible signs of wear, loose connections, or overheating.
It seems likely a damaged cable is the cause initially. Consider swapping it out to test for better performance. Also, inspect your modem and router for any recorded issues, such as connection drops.
It seems like a problematic port. Disconnect and attempt again.
The issue likely stems from a faulty connection in the cable or walljack, or a damaged walljack causing poor pin contact.
Just a bit of an update: There were a few bent pins in the port, just got a screwdriver and pushed them upwards and I guess that fixed it..? So yeah, ty.
