tl-sg1008p can power on PoE IEEE 802.3af compliant PDs. If your cameras are not, you can use tl-sg1008p plus four TL-POE10Rs to power them on. http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-167.html

Your cameras are 802.3af PoE compliant? The switch is TL-SG1008 instead of TL-SG1008P? But it is TL-SG1008P that has four PoE ports.

Go to IPv6 Support---IPv6 Setup page. Uncheck Enable IPv6 or change WAN connection type to Tunnel 6to4. If it doesn't help, change MTU on Network---WAN page to 1440 or 1400. BTW, what's the hardware...

Is it what you need? http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-887.html
