I have a TP LINK TD-8817 modem and 3 PCs.
I tried to connect one of them directly to the modem ( I wanted to bypass the router ) , but it didn't work. The couldn't see each other (the LAN led on the modem was off, so was the led on the back of the PC ).
I tried to unplug the modem and turn off the PC and then turn them back on (to bypass the modem's MAC address verification ) , but it also didn't work.
Then I tried the same with my other PC and it worked without any problems.
I also tried to "fabric reset" the modem. No success.
??
- I am not using any switches between the PC and the modem.
- It's not the issue with the cable, because it works when I'm connected to the router.
Any help would be appreciated ,
Thanks.
