Cable Modem--- Unmanaged Switch ----AP(home router AP mode)

[Jianyue]

I have recently set up my home network by this way :Cable Modem--- Unmanaged Switch ----AP(home router AP mode). Only AP Works,nothing plug into switch worked. How do I get things on switch work? Help

The situation you describe is impossible.

Give me an IP of a device plugged into the switch as well as one of your WIFI devices.

It can't work like that.
The modem serves up one and only one IP address. You need a router in there, doing DHCP duty to give internal devices IP addresses.

Their comments are correct. Try this:

1. Connect Cable Modem-->Home Router (WAN Port)
2. Connect Switch -->Home Router (LAN Port)

If your Home Router has 4 LAN ports (many do), I would suggest you plug other LAN devices there and skip the Switch unless you have more than 3 such devices.
