Omega 2S+ Ethernet Connection Problem

@crispyoz
Yeah I noticed the ipv4 difference before but I though that was just the problem not something that would lead me somewhere, i guess that was silly of me.
So before I read your last reply I started working on static ip myself. I've edited the /etc/config/network as the following;
As a result all of the pings failed, but I forgot to take a screenshot, after that I did the steps you posted changing the static ip, here's the result;
I don't know if it's expected but before setting the static ip ping to the router was responsive.
Here's the really embarrassing part for me, I thought I got ping responses with my old device but now this is the result;
I thought I disabled the wifi before but I probably did not. After this result I assigned a static ip to this device as well and now it doesn't get a response to the router ping too.
I'm sorry for claiming that my old device was working properly, but I'm sure it did before, in my old office (different router).
There is still the difference of not getting an auto ip but i guess the problem now lies in the router itself?

@crispyoz As a side note, my laptop can connect to internet with the same cable on the same port

@crispyoz
So sorry I messed got in a hurry did not switch the ethernet to the old device.
This is the result of the old device
-
@akif-durmaz so as to avoid a lot of confusion. Let's disconnect the old working device and put it in a box somewhere.
Make sure you are not connected to a wifi network.
Restart the new non-functioning device, connect to the console and type these commands:
service firewall stop
service dnsmasq stop
ifconfig
route
ping 192.168.8.1
ping 8.8.8.8Post the results of all these commands.
When you plug the LAN cable into your router, I expect your router has status LED on each of the LAN ports, does the port you plugged this cable illuminate?
-
@crispyoz sorry for the late reply.
These are the results to the commands;
I'm afraid my router does not have any led indicators for the ethernet ports.
-
@akif-durmaz The network setup looks correct to me and there is no firewall running to block anything and the routing table also looks fine. Based on this I think you have a hardware problem. It seems your design is ok since you have a working device, perhaps this particular unit has a component failure. I would connect a LAN diagnostic device in order troubleshoot the issue.

@crispyoz
Alright, thanks for everything
-
@akif-durmaz Just one other thought, can you ping your Omega 192.168.8.162 from another device connected to the same router?
-
@crispyoz
it's non-responsive like the latest ping attempts. I'm gonna try desolder the connector and change with a new one other than that I have no idea
-
@crispyoz
Well, this is a little embarrassing. I desoldered the connector and connected a different type connector. Even with shabby soldering it's working now. I just did not think a brand new ethernet connector would be faulty, that's my bad.
Thank you all for your help.
