I was given a Linkrunner AT 2000 by a family friend to test out since there is a cable in our house that does not seem to be working properly, and when I hooked it up I was given the attached picture. Based on this, do you guys happen to know if I may have just miswired one of the ends or is there an issue with the entire length of cable itself?

568-B code is the standard you need, so it should be

 

1 White Orange

2 Orange

3 White Green

4 Blue

5 White Blue

6 Green

7 White Brown

8 Brown

 

Looking at that, pins 2, 3, and 4 are crossed up and Orange possibly bad.

As @Skiiwee29 noted above, you likely need to re-terminate one end of the cable so it's the same as the other end.

That's what I figured, I really just wanted to make sure there wasn't any issues with the cabling in the walls (if that was possible to tell from that image) since the contractor that came over to set up our internet kept claiming that the coaxial cable that was routed to the same port was broken. Thanks to both of you for your help!
