GS208 Unmanaged 8 Port Switch Connection Light on when nothing plugged in

So I noticed my device connected to the switch could not connect to the network my switch is connected to. I then noticed that no connection lights were on except for number 8. I then unplugged all the ethernet cables plugged into the back of the swsitch and noticed that the port 8 light was still on - this was with nothing connected to the switch but the power cable. What is going on? Is the switch toast and I need a new one? It is older.

@superbleester,

 

Welcome to the community! 🙂 

 

It seemed that the GS208 got faulty and needs to be replaced.  Kindly access the GS208 support page here then click on the button that says "Guided Assistance" and follow the online instructions to get a replacement.
