In an office network, a PC (PC1) cannot access the internet. The layout is PC1 → Switch A (IP 192.168.1.2) → Router R (IP 192.168.1.1) → ISP gateway. Observations:\n- PC1 pings Switch A with an RTT of 2 ms.\n- PC1 cannot ping Router R (request times out).\n- A second PC (PC2) on the same switch pings Router R successfully with an RTT of 3 ms.\n- A traceroute from PC1 to 8.8.8.8 shows the first hop as 192.168.1.2 and then stops.\n- The LED on Switch A's port to the router is amber (link error), while the port to PC1 is green.\nAssuming all IP settings are correct and the router's firewall is disabled, identify the most likely faulty component and justify your answer.
