Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Can you try to login to the switch and check the status of the ports, are they in shutdown state, try make sure the cables used by port no 2 and 3 are in working conditions.

I did has a TP link switch with similar problems, the only option was to restart the switch as TP link won’t provide much management options to the switch.

You may need to considering replace the TP link switch.

Your initial issue is that you’re hookig a switch directly into a Cable/DSL modem – the modems typically only communicate with a single MAC (one device). To get your LAN working properly, install a router between the modem and switch…

I guess you will need to check your modem if you have already set DHCP and how many IP's that you have already allocated for DHCP. maybe try allocating about 10 IP's and any 10pc's that is connected to the switch will get the IP from the modem Next as for your PC, make sure the DHCP client is started and automatic.... if you have check the above, please do check the switch..if it is faulty, maybe try getting a dlink switch..
