No connection with new Ethernet wiring when plugging in an Nvidia shield [closed]
I ran my own ethernet cable yesterday to my living room, with the sole purpose being it would connect straight to my Nvidia shield. I ran line last night, no problems.
This morning, no problems.
Later in the day, I plugged new ethernet cable into my Nvidia shield, and thats where the problem occurred. Shield said signal strenghth was excellent, however nothing would load.
My 2 guests lost the Wi-Fi on their phones, my computer, which is connected to an entirely different ethernet cable on the second floor would not work, and my cordless phone which is also upstairs, would not work. I unplug from shield, everything works.
I originally ran a new ethernet cable into my living room from the outlet box outside my home. I ran my new cable from outlet box straight into my Nvidia shield, without using a router. When I was adding my new cable, I undid the first set of the wires that the phone company ran, and added my ethernet cable along with the original wires I undid.
At that point, my computer (Which was running off existing ethernet cable, on out of my modem) worked, along with my landline. When I plug the new cable I added into the shield, my phone cuts out, there is no Wi-Fi, and the shield won't load. I ran line last night, and there were no problems. This morning, again, no problems.

I unplugged it from shield, and everything worked again.
The only thing I can think of is when I incorporated the wires in the box outside, I "twisted" the small wires inside the cat5 to the existing wires that were run months ago.

It is not clear the reason you reference the fact the signal strength is strong if you connected the device directly to an ethernet connection. Signal strength is almost uniformly used to indicated you are connected wirelessly.

I threw that in because I ran the ethernet directly to the nvidia shield. I did not use modem.When I went into settings on the shield, it showed the connection was excellent. I don't know if this clarifies what you asked.

I think we don't have quite enough information. Until you provide the right details, it may be hard for some of our experts to know just which details we still need. Maybe what is plugged in on the other side of the Ethernet port. I'm suspecting "Rogue DHCP" (which, despite the name, doesn't necessarily imply malware). Knowing the IP addresses when things work, and when they don't, maybe very helpful. Yes, I know this request for information may take a bit of time to fulfill, and maybe I'm wrong and someone can spot the problem. But I also might be right, in which case we may need this info.

I don't understand what you mean by "I did not use modem." I'm assuming you plugged one end into your router, though? Also, how long is the cable?
