Hi, I was wandering if we have any networking specialists on the forum. I have always found networks to be a major stress!
I bought a Zyxel GS100-16 gigabit ethernet switch, which is supposed to be plug and play. There are no settings or software to install. It is connected to the fibre-optic receiver box and then to a series of ethernet cables which go to ports around the house. Upstairs I have connected a wireless router (airport extreme). In this configuration the internet works.
If I then plug my QNAP TS 469 pro NAS into the Zyxel switch, the internet stops working!!!! Status light goes orange in Airport Utility and says disconnected.
I have tried various combinations of turning stuff off and on again, but can't get the damn thing to work.
Does anyone know what could be the problem?
