The porpused of the swith is give more ports to connect more divices to the internet right?
I connecteda new gs308 from working netgear wifi routher to swith then divices tothe swith and there is no internet, i cannot see the swith connected to the networ and the switch gives out a weird ip to the divice.
there is no labels on the ports of the swith so i gues i can use any port to connect to the switch (i tried the 1st port)
I'm i connecting it wrogn?
my set up works fine without the switch.
i would appresiate the help thank you.

The proposed of the switch is give more ports to connect more devices to the internet right?
I connected a new gs308 from working netgear wifi router to switch then the device to the switch and there is no internet, i cannot see the switch connected to the network and the switch gives out a weird ip to the device.
There is no labels on the ports of the switch so i guess i can use any port to connect to the switch (i tried the 1st port)
I'm i connecting it wrong?
My set up works fine without the switch.
I would appreciate the help thank you.

Hi 3ny,
Welcome to the community!
GS308 switch is an unmanaged switch which is a plug and play device. No configuration needed for it to work. Please try to do the following:
- Connect a cable from the router going to the switch, make sure that the port do light up
- If it is not working, replace the switch with a computer and check if you are now going to receive an IP
- if it still not working, try to replace the cable and connect the computer, if it worked, then you may now connect the switch

Does it matter to which port do i connect the cable? i since the switch is not mark like the wifi routher wndr700.
I tried all the port and i cannot get a divice connected to that switch to the internet
