Recently I upgraded to a managed switch (A TP-Link T1600G-28TS), and I'm having a lot of trouble accessing it's user interface. There are a couple potential problems at my best guess:
1. The switch's default IP is 192.168.0.1, which is reserved for my modem
2. The switch's default network is 192.168.0.1 -- 255 whereas my router and network are all on 192.168.1.100 -- 255
So far I've tried cycling through dozens of potential second-choice IP's, unplugging and re-plugging the switch, resetting to factory defaults both connected, and unconnected to the network, and even setting my PC to a static IP trying to connect on the 192.168.0.1 gateway to see if I can at least access the UI to change it's IP. None of these have worked.
Currently, I have a server, two PC's, a TV, a PS4, and a Raspberry Pi all connected to the switch via Cat6 cable, which is then connected to a Linksys router, which is connected to the modem. I should also note that I do have a working internet connection on all devices connecting through the switch, so it does seem to be working as a dumb switch. (Though I am also having trouble connecting to ports that are definitely forwarded which I plan to ask about later if this isn't the issue).
