GS105 stopped 'talking' to Visio smart TV
I have a GS105 that no longer communicates with my Visio smart TV. Model V585x-H1. My internet ethernet cable was plugged directly into my computer. When I purchased the TV, I also purchased the GS1...
What is supplying internet? What router are you using?
This is my internet setup: My internet is supplied by a company called LR Communications. In my yard I have a 12 - 14 inch satelite type dish that points to a tower 2 miles away. The system is from Cambium Networks. Signal comes from tower to dish, then dish via Cat 5 cable to AC adapter in house. The AC adapter supplies power to the dish. There is a Cat 5 cable from AC adapter to the GS105 switch. Previous to having the switch this cable plugged into computer.
I do not have a router.
From the sound of it, only 1 devices will work at a time?
Might be that the isp is only supplying 1 ip address at a time now. maybe they changed something on their end.
It might be time to get a router.
No, I don't think so. I can disconnect my computer from the switch, and the switch will not connect to the TV. I just did that.
Why a router? Please help me with the need and benefits. All I want is the computer and TV to connect to internet.
Thank you for your help.
