network switch to wireless router problems
August 5th, 2016
ok basically i am connecting a wired network switch to a wireless router (the modem connects to the switch) but for some reason the wireless router does not get the connection through???
i have a machine connected to the switchs itself and that connects fine.
i think it may be to do with the DHCP settings or somthing
any help would be great
many thanks,

You are connection multiple devices straight to the internet when using a switch. Do you have an account with multiple ip’s (from your ISP?)
If you want to share your internet account (with 1 ip) for multiple devices, you should connect your router to the modem and connect the switch to the router
From pc point of view:
Pc –> Switch –> router –> modem
(I’m guessing you use a switch to get more then 4 ports?)
For example I have an account where I may use 4 pc’s straight on the internet.. So if I have a 8 port switch and connect 8 pc’s to it, the first 4 pc’s will get an IP…
