"Plug one end into router/switch and other into device. Not rocket science." would be true were I willing to have cable running along the floor between where the service enters the house, two rooms and a hall away from my iMac, but I'm not. The cable needs to go inside a wall up to the attic, across the attic, and inside a wall down to the outlet. Once its installed, then the trite not rocket science statement would be valid.
Tony, replacing the old ethernet with WiFi produced an instant cure, so I don't know if there was some other intermittent problem with the existing cable, but in any case we''ll probably pull 6C (IIRC) while we're at it. The IP talked of a bandwidth problem, and I didn't challenge the assertion.
