metice Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I need to link 2 routers together and require a crossover adaptor. The cable is long and already in place so I don't want to replace it with a crossover cable. My skills don't extend to making my own! Any ideas where I can buy one in Phuket? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Id assume the bigc people could make one for you, usually routers have a button on 1 port which switches that port to become a crossover (see pic below, uplink button). I have a couple of netgear hubs I could sell. pm if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmB Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Most of the routers, if they are not very old, has now the Auto MDI/MID-X function and a crossover cable is not needed. What are you trying to achieve connecting 2 routers each other? By the way if a crossover cable is what you really need and you already have a straight one in place why don't you just cut off 1 the plugs switch the wires and crimp it again? Isn't that hard you just need a crimping tool and in a few minutes you will have your crossover cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 As said, I havent encountered a router or switch in years that this was an issue with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
