I tired to edit my post to correct a typo but it says I can only post once in 24 hours. It should of course read adapter and not adpter.

Following on from my earlier post, I have now found that the tp-link works when it is plugged via an ethernet cable, into my router.

However, when it goes through by Planet 16 port Gigabit switch or bypassing that but still via the network ports I have in the different rooms in my house, it doesn't work, even though a pre-existing Belkin adapter does work in all these cases.

I cannot even log on to my Arris router page on 192.168.1.254.

I have logged on to my router via WiFi and it shows this device as pennding with an ip address ending in 25.

Under DHPC it doesn't show up. If I try to add the mac address manually and assign it an IP address, I get the error that the mac address is being used host 22.

On my Mac, the ip address for the device is ends with 53 and not 25.

Another interesting point is I had to post this in the accessories forum and not the adapter forum, even though it says adapter on the packaging.

  @Infobleep I also had a weird issue where my TP-Link USB-C to RJ45 adapter showed flashing network lights but no actual internet. While troubleshooting, I also checked my Epson printer, which was acting up too. Used the Epson Resetter from resetterepson_com to fix the printer side—super helpful tool. Still figuring out the network issue, but at least the printer's back on track!
