Switch Interfering with internet connection GS108v4
Hello I am using an unmanaged switch and I am having trouble when the switch is installed after the router/modem it is not allowing internet access. I have turned power on and off and followed all ...
Hello Dana
Thank you for the response but if I disconnect the switch all works fine. The switch is interfering with the connection. I can also connect other items instead of the switch and everything works fine.
The GS108v4 is a pass-through, unmanaged switch. It is strange that it interferes with the connection. Kindly double-check the physical connections on your existing network.
Is the GS108v4 directly connected to the modem/router? Or is it connected to an ethernet wall jack?
Is your modem/router a NETGEAR device? If yes, what is the model of it?
