lan phy voltage is 0... I'm confused.

My lan phy voltage is 0 according to pc probe. Isn't this the voltage going through my ethernet? Well... I'm obviosly online and my speedtest scores are fine, so, I'm confused. Can anyone explain what this means to me?

Well why would your LAN have a voltage reading? unless you use power over ethernet...

Power over Ethernet


Ethernet over power

hehe yeah yeah...

if my lan phy is supposed to be 0 then why is pc probe giving me a voltage reading and alarm? I believe it's reading the voltage on the mobo for the ethernet device not what's coming through the wire.

Hi aras420,
I also have the Crosshair no voltage alarm. I wonder if you could confirm whether BOTH your LAN ports actually work? I am on my second board now and both of them had the above no voltage alarm but, in addition, LAN 1 was inoperative. Took me ages to work that one out! No network, no Internet no nothing until I moved the Router cable to LAN 2

Thanks in advance.

James.
