GS108LP seems broken

Hi,

 

It looks a lot like my switch broke. No matter what device I connect, the device does not get an IP address. It did work yesterday, it does not work anymore today.

 

Example: 

Laptop connected to port 8, IP config "auto",

results in "unknown network" and no IP address

Left LED is blinking green, right LED is off (so far I do not use PoE whatsoever).

 

What can I do?

 

 

Thanks

Model: GS108LP|8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch with 8-Port PoE/PoE+

If you reboot the router and replace the cable between the router/switch does it work?

With just the switch and random devices connected, there won't be neither a DHCP server nor a router providing LAN, NAT, and Internet access.

One might guess that yesterday, the switch had a working link to the router.
