Hello! I just got a switch and I am trying to connect my wireless router to it. Originally I used my router as a switch, but as I needed more ports I figured I might as well run my important items through the switch, then use the router just as a wireless access point.
I tried plugging in my router to the switch with its previous settings and I could not get an IP address. I also got a message on my phone saying the internet connection was too slow to that router. So I tried finding my router on my modem's device list to see if something was up, but I could not find it anywhere on there. It just had its old IP listed as 192.168.1.1 (which doesn't work anymore since the modem no longer directly connects to it). So I reset the router, and I still cannot seem to find it within my list of devices on the modem's admin page.
My modem is an ATT U-Verse 3600HGV.
My switch is just a simple Netgear FS205.
My router that I am trying to setup is a Linksys E2000
Not sure what to do as I cannot even seem to find my router's IP.
