Archer A20: No Internet through unmanaged switch
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I bought this router on Prime Day in July so I don't have much history with it. About a week ago, I lost all networking--wired and wireless. I tried to login to the router to check it out and it seems that all my config had somehow been blown away. I had to completely start from scratch (new login, password, etc.). I thought this was odd but let it go.
Today, I lost internet connectivity. i was able to access the router from my PC but I could not get out to the net via wired or wireless connection. I rebooted the router, and the wireless connection to the internet was restored. My wired connection was not. So, I connected a cable to the router and tried with a laptop. I could access it via wired connection there. So, then I tried with the same laptop and cable off my unmanaged switch. No connection. I disconnected the ethernet cable from the swtich and connected it to the laptop. I had a wired connection. So, I swapped the switch for a different one. No wired connection.
So, I can get wireless connection. I can get wired connection if I connect directly to the router. I cannot get wired connection when going through an unmanaged swtich. Both of the switches were the same model: Trendnet TEG-S80g.
Anyone have any ideas?
