I have a 50 ft cable linking your router to your cable modem, with the router connected to another nearby computer. Once everything was working smoothly, I received the cable and experienced full speeds with minimal latency. However, after moving my computer again, Windows Diagnostics reported an issue—suggesting a problem with the connection or power. Your situation sounds tricky; let me know if you need further guidance.

I'd try using a different machine if possible. I should also think the cable might be twisted somewhere. The 50-foot length could have damage. You can check by moving the cable and testing again.

You searched for kinks but didn't find any. I tried using it on a computer, but it didn't work either. It seems the cable might be dead.
