Ethernet Connection Troubleshooting Guide

1️⃣ Check the Physical Connection

  • Make sure the Ethernet cable is firmly plugged into both the device and the router/switch.
  • Look for LED lights near the Ethernet port:
    • Blinking light → active connection/data transfer
    • ⚠️ No light → possible cable or port issue

2️⃣ Try a Different Cable

  • Swap the cable with a known good one.
  • Ethernet cables can fail internally even if they look fine.

3️⃣ Try a Different Port

  • Plug the cable into a different port on the router or switch.
  • Sometimes ports fail while the device is fine.

4️⃣ Check Network Settings

  • Ensure your device is set to obtain an IP automatically (DHCP).
  • Alternatively, verify that a static IP is configured correctly if used.

5️⃣ Restart Devices

  • Restart both your router and the device.
  • This can resolve temporary network issues.
