I returned the last switch I tried, so at the moment I don't any switches, except for one mystery unit that totally unmarked. I would have to go buy another to do more experiments. I am leaning toward sending this cable modem to the recycler and buying another with more LAN ports.

Out of the three switches I tried, they all had the same behaviour. The first item plugged connects to the wider network. Anything else connected to a port of the switch afterwards does not. If I have to supply a particular model number at this point, then I will have to go buy another switch. I got rid of anything that didn't work.
The C6300 is a cable modem with four LAN ethernet ports and WiFi. No idea what you mean by \"configured.\"
\"Connect\" means that one of the ports on the switch is connected to one of the ports on the cable modem. Is there another choice?
I am using cables that are about three feet long. The pretty green lights come on at both ends, with occassional blinking even on ports that just spin their wheels and don't connect.
