A GS316v3 - 16-port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch isn't it? As you mentioned unmanaged switch, it was moved to the apporopriate commmunity section.
Have only one of the MR80 (thats the router) connected to one LAN port [C] on the switch?

Left and right port LEDs blinking indicate that all ports are operating on Gigbit, at a 1 Gbps link rate.
What happens when you connect say one PC direct to one of the MR80 (or a MS80) LAN port?
Have already cold rebooted the MR80 (the router) by disconnecting (wait some 10 seconds just in case) and reconnecting the power?
Does the PC get an IP address assigned from the router DHCP server, not nagging something like "no Internet"?
