I have a IP video doorbell that connects using a 2-pair telephone line. I have managed to connect it to my DSL router (Linksys WAG320N) successfully and connection is working fine with live streaming over internet.
Now, due to limited upload speed of my DSL router (only 512 Kbps) where I need a minimum of 1 Mbps upload line, I used a 4G Router but when I connect the same 2-pair line to the router (HUAWEI LTE CPE B593) it does not work and the led light does not blink. Actually the ethernet port status shows as disconnected. So, I tried connecting the line to a switch then to the DSL router, but again it does not connect and shows as disconnected. I tried different setups and the only thing that works is connecting direct to the DSL router! So all other routers/switches could not connect to this ethernet line.
So what I can conclude is that this is a hardware issue but not sure exactly why is that and how to enable the switch/4G router to be able to connect to the doorbell through this 2-pair ethernet line (please note I used a 10/100 MB switch to eliminate Gigabit compatibility issues)
Any ideas?

What is you question? Please clarify. – Moab – 2016-05-01T16:46:39.600
The question in simple words, what is the reason of this problem and how to make this connection work on other routers/switches other than the linksys DSL router so I can upgrade the upload speed?. – NahhaB – 2016-05-01T17:50:33.883
Why are you streaming your doorbell out over the internet? – Burgi – 2016-05-01T21:13:37.940
Burgi, to be able to answer my doorbell from anywhere using my smart phone. I can see and talk to the guest and I can remotely open the door lock. Question remains unanswered :( – NahhaB – 2016-05-02T17:59:06.527
