Ethernet has a self-assigned port issue
Was replacing my old DL 1008G switches with the GS316. Using Arris Modem and Eero Pro 6 router. Have 15 Ethernet cables. Unplugged and plugged into the new GS316 and now some stuff works on ethernet and some shows this message "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address" message. One iMac and one Roku will connect wired and the other computer and Roku will only connect wirelessly. I have powered down and powered up all to no avail. Everything was working fine with my old DL-1008G's.
Any suggestions?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the LAN Switch products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Switch products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
