Maybe I'll try to run a Ethernet cable from the router to the 'hook up' and another cable to the living room to see if that works. The living room Ethernet port is the only one I care about. Your probably wondering why?, just use wireless. My wife gets headaches from wireless and I have the wireless feature turned off in the router. We TRY to avoid it but its becoming almost impossible to stay away from. Cell phones too, I turn it on in another room and she will ask me to turn it off!! If I can't get the bedroom port to work I'll run a separate line to the living room. I have to run a line from the invertor to run the freezer I'm putting in anyway, I'll run them together.

That sounds good. The only other thing I can think of is that they mis labeled the ports and "hook up" is really "living room", so your plan should fix that, or they may have not completed the conection behind either wall plate (assuming there are wall plates in both the bedroom and living room). If so, remove the plate and see if the connections are all connected if direct wired or plugged in if plugged connections are used on the back side. I think you get much better service if you connect direct. Best of luck and happy new year.
