No network in one of 8 rooms, although physical connection seems solid

Solution 1:

If a cable has been kinked, the tester may not give you the correct answer.

String a length of cable through the house from panel to room. Does this work? Probably. That tells you that you must re-run the cable to the non working room. This will help you troubleshoot.

Also check rack connections as well.

See if this works for you.
