This thread has reminded me of the wiring for our APs in our own house; again, we used an electrician, so mea culpa and all that!

 

But is there an easy way for a non-tech person such as myself to check that the wiring is done correctly? It's simply two CAT6 cables between the router and the two APs.

 

We have had problems with the APs holding a connection in the past, and I just wondered if this could be behind it.

 

Thanks.

 

Basic cable testers are pretty cheap and common from Trademe, ebay etc. Basically a two part unit, you plug half in at each end of the cable and it will check that the pins are wired up correctly. It might not pick up on a poor connection that works most of the time but occasionally comes loose.
