Hi all
Has anyone experienced this problem I am having. So I have run out of LAN ports on my modem and router so I decided to get a TP Link Gigabit Network Switch, its one of those plug and play units. So I put the PS3 and Laptop that's running Plex onto the network switch and that links to the modem (TP Link W9970) when running plex it seems these 2 devices cant find each other. So I removed the Ethernet cable from the Modem (W9970) and connected to my router ( Archer D50) still these two devices don't find each other. But when I connect both these devices either on the router or the modem they find each other and works fine. I think it has something to do with IP address.
