The GS308 is a non managed switch so wouldn't or shouldn't be causing any problems. Unless it's a hardware failure. Be sure to sue good quality LAN cables between the host router and switch and ethernet connected devices. CAT6 UTP is best.
Test ethernet connected devices with out the switch in the mix to compare results.
Try a different switch to compare results. GS108 is another non managed switch.

I'm starting to think that the problem is the motherboard adapter which I did try to reset as a possible solution to the problem. Bypassing the switch and plugging a limited number of devices into the SH2 shows that they do work, it is just the PC that won't fully connect to the internet. Thank you for taking the time to reply
