actually, crimping a RJ45 male plug onto a solid core conductor is against the standards, and is a bad practice. The teeth in the RJ45 male jacks never pierces the solid core and gets seated on the sides leading to loose contacts. I would have terminated the solid core in two ways:

1. Use a RJ45 female socket, and terminate the cable onto the IDC connectors (google the term for clarification), then use a factory made RJ45-RJ45 p/cord from this socket to the equipment.

2. Use a field termination RJ45 male jack, this is a new technology and you may not find it for purchase online. Here the RJ45 male jack has a IDC connector and one can terminate the cable onto the same (not crimp). Check this datasheet http://bit.ly/3bywNGi . It comes in toolless variety too.

Best brands are Commscope, RnM, Molex, Belden. I guess you will not find any of these brands available online. If you decide to go the proper way, and need my help to procure any of them, let me know.
 
so... it was indeed a crimping issue. got crimping done in the morning. and then found out that airtel was down. airtel guy just left after fixing. turns out airtel did not process my static ip removal request which led to downtime. now i have to reapply for static ip removal. and internet would go down again lol.
