Hi 3ny,
Welcome to the community!
GS308 switch is an unmanaged switch which is a plug and play device. No configuration needed for it to work. Please try to do the following:
- Connect a cable from the router going to the switch, make sure that the port do light up
- If it is not working, replace the switch with a computer and check if you are now going to receive an IP
- if it still not working, try to replace the cable and connect the computer, if it worked, then you may now connect the switch
Regards,
