My roommate can access the wired network from our room, but I can’t. Is there something wrong with my jack?

First, make sure you are connecting to the bottom pair of jacks. Next, try to move your roommate’s connection to your jack temporarily. If they CAN connect from your jack also, then the problem is not your jack.  If your roommate CANNOT connect from your jack, then you probably have a problem with your jack.

If you are still in need of help, Boldyn Network support is available 24/7:
