Using a non-standard MTU on the computer network interface? Known issue that MTU different from 1500 are not workable on these switches embedded controller IP stack.
Does the switch have an IP address in the subnet of the router, or does it still show the default 192.168.0.239 address? in this case, your computer interface must be in the same 192.168.0.xxx/24 (255.255.255.0) subnet - this applies also in the case of the direct connection. Note you could use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) to locate the IP address.
Scratch the term Internet signal, the switch does just Ethernet switching, e.g. between the computer and the router.
