My JGS516 Switch lights are blinking after I have installed ORBI Micro Router. It was working before
Situation:
1 I changed the Internet Modem from a Router to a Bridge (turned of Wifi and Router functions)
2 The Internet Modem/Bridge is connected to the Switch
3 The Orbi Router is connected to Switch and is working, I do have Wifi
4 The Laptop connected to Switch can't connect via cable, Windows message says:
Unknown Network
No Internet access
I'm a total network noob and probably did something wrong. I hope someone here can help me.
Thanks
Marco

Suspect something wrong with the installation resp. the data path:
Internet <-> Modem/Bridge <-> Internet/WAN Port [Orbi Router] LAN Port <-> JGS516
Do not connect the switch direct to the modem/bridge and the LAN.

Re: JGS516 blinking lights
Yes, that was the issue, a real noob error.
I did:
Internet - Modem/Bridge - Switch - Orbi Router
When it should have been:
Internet - Modem/Bridge - Orbi Router - Switch
I think that was in the first lesson on networks I ever had.
I wanted the router in the livingroom as it is quite esthetic, now its locked in the cabinet with the Modem and the switch.
Thanks for the reply.
Kind regards,
Marco
