Hello ShimmyShoo,
Welcome to the community!
The FS305 is only a plug-and-play device and it does not have any configuration. Check the cables that you are using and make sure that the connections are correct. Can you confirm if this is how your setup looks like. Modem>Router>Switch>Computers.
Thanks,
my computer ist connected directly to the router.
my switch is also connected to the router but i have a tv and another dhcp client connected to the switch.
both of this clients are not recognized as dhcp client, but they recieve internet trough the switch, so they are "online" but i cant see / use them in my network.
Hi ShimmyShoo,
If the devices are online then that means they are getting an IP address. Did you check if the devices behind the switch are listed on your IP table on your router? Just like what I have mentioned, this switch is only a passthrough plug-and-play unit. There is no management software or web-ui, it is only pure hardware.
Thanks,
