When you've planned for every contingency, you know something is going to go wrong. I even said so yesterday (repeatedly) before I went to install the Isolated Wireless Network I mentioned in my last post.
The ethernet jack that was wired up for the router was installed when the building was built, by the same people who installed the telephones. I wasn't sure which jack was the other end of it, so I cheated and hooked up a tone probe the the line. What I discovered was that the ethernet jack was wired into the phone system punch down block. This is bad.
