No network with cat 6 cable on one side of cable

    Hi. I am running cat 6 in the house and have a weird problem. The cable works fine between the computer or laptop and router.
    If I put a switch next to router it works fine, but if I put the switch next to computer I get limited connectivity and no internet.
    I changed the end and still the same. The setup works fine if I replace the cable with a wifi adapter plugged into one of the ports so it isn't the switch.
