I purchased this switch a couple of days ago to give me more ports on a part of my network. I'm having a challenge getting it to connect properly.
Let me describe the situation. Here is my network:
- Starlink is my ISP. The router is in bypass mode.
- My router is Araknis AN-220-RT. I am running only the default VLAN, no internal sub networks.
- The router is some distance from my utility room, where the bulk of my network gear is housed. The ethernet line from the router is fed into a 48-port TRENDnet switch, not managed. I have a bunch of other networking gear in the house. This is not where I installed the TL-SG1016PE. I'm having no issues with the network in the house.
- A line from the TRENDnet switch is run to an outbuilding on the property. Here is where I installed the TL-SG-1016PE.
- Prior to the upgrade, I had two switches in this location: a Hikvision DS-3E0510P-E (8 ports with PoE) and a TRENDnet 5-port unmanaged switch daisychained to it.
- The Hikvision switch fed some PoE security cameras, a TP Link WAP (EAP245), and some TVs.
- I wanted to add more ports in this area so I bought the TP Link managed switch with PoE.
When I replaced the Hikvision and TRENDnet switches with the TP Link, I was unable to establish an internet connection in that location. The link light for downstream devices were blinking and the devices that needed PoE were getting it, but the link light on the main line back to the house was dead. I found that if I connected that line to the Hikvision switch first and then daisychained the TP Link switch off of it, all was well. This is not an ideal hardware situation for me so I would like to get the TP Link switch working solo. I did a bunch of troubleshooting but I'm out of ideas. Would be great if someone here could point me in the right direction.
Here is a summary of the settings in the TL-SG1016PE:
- DHCP enabled
- IGMP snooping disabled
- no LAG groups
- no port mirroring
- Loop prevention disabled
- MTU and Port-based VLAN disabled
- 802.1Q VLAN enabled, all ports untagged
Here are some of the settings in the Araknis router:
- VLAN page: only the default VLAN, device management enabled, LAN untagged
- no VPN tunnels in use
- IP Mode page: dual-stack IP disabled, IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel disabled
- Local DNS database page: domain name router90760d.com, no local DNS hosts
Any ideas for me? Thanks in advance.

Since disabling device management, I am unable to reach the router, either by web address or by pinging 192.168.0.1. The ping requests timeout.

It appears to be a wiring issue. It was a non-standard cable that was run between the two locations that was then terminated in ethernet jacks on either end. I'm getting only about 7 MB/s through this line. If the managed switch needs a certain minimum transmission speed to function, then this cable is not providing it.
The specs on the cable are as follows: CELFIL Cable, BJAB, 6 Pair, 22 AWG, Solid Annealed Copper Conductor
