Modem ethernet to switch not working
My office has a hardwired ethernet outlet. I get connectivity if I plug a device (computer, Xbox and tv) directly in the outlet. My issue is if I connect my GS108 switch to the outlet I have no internet and the switch lights are not on.

You need to address this question to that someone.

You are going to have to describe/communicate all of the pieces to your local network. Start with the modem/ONT that is your connection to the internet and work towards the router, switches, computers, and other connected devices. It really helps for you to use brand names and model numbers for each piece.
