New GS308 does not work consistently
I am struggling to get my new GS308 switch working. I move the cable from my Apple Extreme over to tehe GS308 (into the far left port), and then move the remaing cables. Some devices work, some don't...
Welcome to the community!
Given that the GS308 is an unmanaged switch, connecting it to your AirPort Extreme should work as intended (having more Ethernet ports for your network), where one of the 3 ports of the AirPort Extreme connects to any port of the GS308.
First thing you can try is to check if the Ethernet cables being used are working; if possible, try swapping them and see if it makes a difference.
Also, what devices work and don't work when the switch is involved?

Thanks for the ideas...I was thinking there might be some problem with my old cables and will be replacing them (although they work on the Apple device). Will also try switchin existing cables on curretn devices.
WHat does't work on the new switch:
1) direct connection to Dell PC
2) HVAC WI-fi device
I'll get new cables and see how that works
Thanks!
