Im really hoping this is a simple one.
I have just purchased an 8 port switch which is supposed to just plug into the router and work automatically according to the instructions yet when i plug it in my plusnet router disconnects from the internet giving a red light. Can anyone tell me how i sort this at all please ? I would really appreciate it
thanks

It is a tplink 8 port 10/100mbps desktop switch
Errors in log are showing
FIREWALL icmp check (1 of 1): Protocol: ICMP Src ip: 45.35.96.242 Dst ip: 146.199.xxx.xxxType: Destination Unreachable Code: Port Unreacheable
If that helps ?

Quote from: liamb2001 It appears to be related to my tp 3 port powerline that's causing the router to disconnect. Ive always used the first port but im now connecting a second port into port 2 thats causing it. Any ideas ?
Are you saying you have two ports from the powerline into the router and/or switch? If so, that is likely to cause a crash as there is probably a "loop" where routing table requests go from port to port in a recursive loop (LEDs flash rapidly and continuously). More expensive switches have protection for this fault.
