Hi Akhlan,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Is the Freebox a modem-only device or a combination of modem and router?
b. If you connect your computer directly to the Freebox, can you access the internet just fine?
c. You mentioned that when you turned-on the WiFi on your computer, all is fine. Is the Freebox a wireless router?
d. What is the behavior of the LED lights on the GS116Ev2 switch while its connected to your computer as well as to the Freebox?
e. Is the IP address 192.168.1.24 a static IP address you set on the GS116Ev2?
