It would be interesting to know the make and model of the router. Others
have suggested this might be due to the use of a crossover lead but most
recent models should automatically compensate for transposed Tx and Rx
lines. If this is the case then it wouldn't matter of one lead was a
crossover anyway.

When you connect over the LAN there's 2 fly leads involved, one from the
laptop to the individual faceplate and and another from the 4 gang
faceplate to the router. Have you tested each lead individually, i.e.
connect the laptop directly to the router with each one in turn.
