When i plug my network switch into airport extreme it affects my wireless operation

I have a gigabit wired network with a 16 port unmanaged switch. I have a TWC cable modem, connected to the AE Tower. When I plug my wired network into one of the LAN ports on the AE, I can no longer connect to the internet. I have my Extreme set to "Create a wireless network" and it's connected to the router via DHCP and NAT. When I disconnect my wired network, I can once again access the internet.
The switch seems to be operating correctly, I can see and access my other computer when it connected to the router. I can't seem to determine why connecting the wired network causes the loss of internet connectivity.

Temporarily, disconnect the switch.
Restart the AirPort Extreme
Temporarily, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop directly to the Ethernet port on the AirPort Extreme. Check to see if you can get a good Internet connection that way.
Then, test the other 2 Ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme the same way.
What happens?

  • How can I connect to Internet when there is a Gigabyte switch after Airport Extreme?

    I have a new Airport Extreme Base station. I have a wired home network set up through out the house. After the Airport Extreme, I have two gigabyte switches. I can connect to the network after the switch, but not the internet. I have also purchased new switches just to make sure this was not the problem. I connected the cable that goes into the switch into my laptop and was able to connect, however after the switch I still cannot connect. Wireless work fine. I need the wired connection for my DirecTv, X-box, Sony Bluray, etc. If it helps I have Comcast with a Motorola SB6120 Modem.  Any suggestions as to how I can get connected?

    Hi - I have only dealt with one question like this - it was with a different modem but it also had the new hi-speed technology and they were trying to connect the base station like you are with a new gigabit switch - the bad news is that no matter how many resets and reboots and different brand switches and cables were used, it wouldn't work - I told them to contact both the modem and the switch manufacturers but I haven't heard the outcome - maybe one of the gurus will weigh in an fill in the blanks.

  • Can i plug printer into airport extreme while it is on

    Can I plug a usb printer into airport extreme while it is on?

    I cannot find airport in finder, don't know how to turn it off.
    You will have to pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme to power it down. Wait a few seconds, then plug the cord back in.
    Or, you can pulll the plug where the power supply plugs into the wall socket if that is easier.

  • G4 to Mac Pro transfer info, files both plugged into Airport Extreme

    How can I transfer info, files from G4 to Mac Pro both plugged into Airport Extreme (to cable modem) with Ethernet cables. Both computers have no wireless cards and are in different rooms. I tried Target Disk mode but I can't find a long 400-800 Firewire cable or extension for it! (Local Apple store does not even stock a 800 Firewire cable!!) Since both computers are plugged into Airport Extreme there should be an easy way to get info and files from my old G4 to new Mac Pro which I can't figure out. Network, Sharing, boy is this complicated! I tried Migration ***., could not even get e-mail info right.
    My Mac Pro can receive e-mail but not send! They come to me for help with their Macs but I now need
    step by step instructions to set up the above. Thank you for your patience and any input.

  • Randomly when I plug my Iphone 4s into Itunes it will tell me that it can't detect my phone and that I need to restore it. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe every two weeks.

    Randomly when I plug my Iphone 4s into Itunes it will tell me that it can't detect my phone and that I need to restore it. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe every two weeks.I restore it and then it works for a while, but then a couple weeks later I'll plug it in and I get the same message again. It's very frustrating because even though I have all the settings to save to cloud, my apps and data don't all come back.

    Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

    Right click 'My Computer' , then Manage => Services and Applications => Services.  Apple Mobile Device is listed in alphabetical order.  If none, it means you've not download iTunes into your computer yet.  If yes, please ensure the Apple Mobile Device is in 'Started' status.

  • I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there

    Alright, I've had this problem for a while now, and I'm at my wit's end. Hope someone can help me.
    First of all, I'm running Windows 8.0 on a Lenovo, using iTunes 11.1.5, and an iPhone on iOS 7.0.6.
    Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there. On top of that, every time I plug in, my phone gives me the same "Trust this computer?" prompt, like it doesnt recognize the computer I told it to trust 5 seconds ago. A couple times, I got lucky and iTunes dignified me with a "An iPhone has been detected, but could not be identified properly." prompt. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mobile device driver, updating everything, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iphone settings, but nothing works. Any ideas?

    Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
