    3ny,

     

    Kindly refer to the network diagram below on how you will interconnect the cable modem, WNDR3700 router, GS308 switch and your other networking devices (example: laptop, desktop PC, etc):

A weird IP is a totaly uncaracteristic of an ip address.

 

The cable moden to the wifi routher with 4 ports then one cable(pecfectly working cable) to the switch. And since the switch doesn't have any mark I've tried on the 1 port and all of them. and i do not get internet on divices connected to the switch.

 

I guess i should ask at this point if some one can please can recomend me a way no connect more divices to the internet since my wndr3700 routher got all 4 port used. i need to connect more things not to each other but to the internet.

 

than kyou
