Without any knowledge or experience in this area, I bought unmanaged switch TP-Link TL-SG108 thinking that it would require no setup. (plug and play, as advertised)
It did not. On the first try, I couldn't ping one computer to another, internet connection is out of the question. My setup is modem/router > switch > computer. Later I found out that I have to go to 192.168.0.1 to configure the switch. There, I enabled MTU VLAN and set it to Port 1 (router).
To my surprise, everything works fine and accessing 192.168.0.1 now goes to router configuration instead of switch's. However, I am still experiencing occasional internet drop. When they do drop, 192.168.0.1 goes back to switch configuration. This will only happen for approximately 5 minutes before everything going back to normal again.
How can I prevent this occasional drops? I am ready to provide more information.
