Hi,

I have just moved into a house which has a Virgin Media Hub, the hub has a Ethernet cable going into a Ethernet port in the wall. The house is wired with Ethernet ports in each room which all run down into what looks like a patch unit. From there the cables go into a tp link 10/100mbs unmanaged switch. If I connect an Ethernet cable to any port in the house I was getting 98mbs down which is pretty much what we were paying for. Now I upgraded my internet to 350mbps down so I thought it was just a matter of replacing the switch with a unmanaged gigabit switch so I purchased a netgear and two tp link switches and none of them work. I connect them up the exact what the current white tp switch is setup with the same cables and new cat 6 cables but no luck. The ports in all the rooms just go dead. Am I missing something? Please find links below.

 

LS 1008 currently fitted I tried to replace it with

LS 108G which did not work then tried 

TL-SG108S which also did not work

Looking at the cabling and setup there is nothing that I can see jumps at me as being out of place, it looks spot on

 

I do notice in the bottom picture a few of your ports are active on the older switch, when you replace the switch what is the port status reading as?   How are you determining the ports "are dead"?

 

This literally should just be a swop and replace, have you tried setting it up locally?   namely, direct connect the new switch to your router and a PC/Laptop all beside each other?   Just to rule out internal cabling

Buy an ethernet cable tester. They are not that expensive these days. It will let you test RJ45 jacks/ports, too.
