My house has Cat5e wired to every room (for telephone service) that I'm using for internet now, but the connections are unstable. I'm wondering if they stapled through the wire inside the walls or something. Are there good testing devices I could try to see the connection of the wired runs?
I have a simple tester that gives me the PASS/FAIL and will show me which wires are crossed, that sort of thing, but I want something that will send packets and see the packet loss and ping and all that. Does a device like that exist? Thanks.
