Lose Wifi when Connect Network Cable

Hi All,

I have a weird issue. I have setup an outside office room in a garage. When I connect the network cable to Virgin Media router all the WIFI connections disconnect. I unplug the network cable and WIFI is back. The cable goes from Virgin Media router to Network point in garage

I initially tried to connect a Wireless Access Point to other end to allow WIFI in Garage to connect mutiple devices.

Is is the cable, a setting on router.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

  • What's the device model number in the garage?

    It's possibly a router trying to assign IP addresses at the same time as the HUB.

    My guess is a bad cable. Get it tested out. Testers are cheap on places like Amazon.
