[SOLVED] TP-Link Unmanaged Switch not working

[natmar99]

I have a TP-Link TL-SG1005D V9 and it doesn't seem to work on my network. I use my ISP's router/modem, and there is a switch built into my home. I have an ethernet running from the router to the home switch. In one of the rooms in my home I have an ethernet on the wall, I plug the TP-Link switch into their, and devices connected do not work, they do not even detect ethernet present. If I remove the TP-Link switch and plug any of the particular devices into the wall, they receive full internet over the ethernet. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I have a faulty TP-Link ethernet switch?

A little more information: I have the ethernet plugged into port 5 of the TP-Link switch which is the internet receiving port of the switch. When the TP-Link switched is powered on (with or without any ethernet cables plugged in) the single light on the front flashes constantly.

There is nothing you can change or configure. They either work or they do not. You could have bad cables but it is unlikely you have multiple. Generally you get lights on the ports even when they are not work 100% correctly.

If it is still is under warranty I would open a ticket with tplink.
