RS300 Wifi 7 router

Recently purchased a Netgear RS300 Wifi 7 router.  Wireless works great, unable to get my lan wired devices to work.  I have tried 2 Netgear unmanaged switches and neither switch can get IP addresses...

    Possible unit you got was faulty from the start. Not sure if another would work. 

    Good Luck.

What model# are these switches? 

What port are you connecting the switch to on the back of the RS Router?

What CAT# LAN cables are you using? CAT6 is recommended. 

Do ethernet connected devices connect and work while connected directly to the back of the RS router? 

 

I have a had a GS308, GS808 and a HP 1400 series managed switch connected to my RS600 and all work fine.
