Cannot Connect GS105 Switch

Question

I&nbsp;am trying to connect my Netgear GS105 network switch. An ethernet cable is connected to my&nbsp;router/modem combo to the switch and the green lights are lit. The yellow cable is connected to my router/modem combo. The two cables (blue and white) are running to a TV and PC but they will not connect to the internet. There is no network connectivity at these devices.&nbsp; As you can see, the lights are not lit for blue and white cables that are connected to other devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have verified all ethernet cables do work and they are not faulty. I have tried several different cables as well and still nothing.&nbsp; I have also plugged all the cables into various ports and still nothing. Any ideas on a fix?&nbsp;

can you ping from one device to the other?
do the devices get an IP address?

Yes I can ping and they get an IP address

plemans · Answer

The GS105 is a simple unmanaged switch. it doesn't do any packet inspection/blocking/etc.&nbsp;
So if your devices are getting a ip address and respond to a ping, the switch is working.&nbsp;
I'd be looking at your router&nbsp;

I am wondering if there is a router setting that is preventing the switch from working. Is there anything particular that is a common issue with router settings that can resolve the issue?

what router do you have?&nbsp;
Are you using any form of access control, parental management, etc?
