Port 1 causing switch to not communicate?
Ok so I recently got better internet at my house and now actually trying to hook up connections using a switch. I can plug directly into my router and things are fine. I plug switch in and connect ...
What model # is the switch?
Swap LAN cables with known working cables. CAT6 is recommended.
This is a used switch? If it was known that Port 1 was bad then would be a use as is unit with faulty ports.
Try a reset on the switch if there is a reset button. If not, then check all the other ports to make sure those all work. Use ports as needed. Maybe put a over over Port 1 or mark it has bad.
Can get good used or new working ones online if you feel you have a need to just replace it.
