Q: TrendNet Switch not working with AirPort Extreme
Hi Everyone,
It's been a while I am trying to solve this issue and I can't find any solution about it, even Apple Support doesn't have any answer.
I got an AirPort Extreme and since it only comes with few ethernet connectors, I decided to get an Ethernet Switch. I got the TrendNet Switch: https://www.amazon.ca/TRENDnet-Unmanaged-Gigabit-GREENnet-TEG-S81g/dp/B00C2H0YUA /ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1474827403&sr=1-4&keywords=trendnet+switch es
However, it just doesn't work. Seems like they don't talk to each other and the AirPort doesn't provide "internet" to the switch. I tried this setup:
Modem > AirPort > TrendNet Switch and it doesn't work, my other devices (PC, TV, PS4...) doesn't pick up any signal from the TrendNet.
Current Setup:
Modem > TrendNet > AirPort Extreme; This way works, the TrendNet provides internet to the AirPort, but I am back to the same problem. I don't have enough ethernet plugs for all my devices.
Does anyone experienced this issue?
will appreciate your help, thanks.
Airport Extreme, Other OS
