Hi all,

I've just switched to Orcon Genius (Unlimited of course) from Slingshot, today and am having problems using my switch with the Genius router.

Simply put, I don't seem to get any Internet access if i plug my computer into the switch. It used to work fine with my old TPL modem and I'm wondering if there's anything special i need to do to get it to work with Genius.

It's a simple TP-Link Gigabit switch (TL-SG1005D). I use it to get gigabit speeds (or so between my media server -> desktop PC.

Sounddude: The Genius modem is only 10/100mbit.

Not sure on your switch specs, but if its expecting 1Gig ports then that could explain why laptops work and the Genius doesn't.

Have you tried any other ports on the genius modem? Ports 1, 2 and 3 are LAN ports (port 4 is reserved for UFB uplink)
