It's just that there's only one switch really. There's definitely wires I forgot where they go, but in this case I don't think it's a loop simply because nothing changed when it went out.

Lol definitely the first thing I tried, thanks tho.

It's not managed, and the network isn't so fucked that there's a loop. It just happened randomly one day and I'm the only one who manages cables in the house.

Switch is just fried, got a new one on the way

Refurb always scares me, even tho 90% of the time it's just returned in an open box

Unlikely a warranty, and I don't care anyway, just getting a new Netgear one

No reset button and it's 120vAC in on a kettlebell cable

I did this with no dice, then tried again on my backup switch and it seems to be working. Don't know why it wasn't working before, but you may have pushed me into the direction of discovering my switch was in fact, dead. Guess I'll be buying a new one lol

 

I got a network switch that is showing zero activity across about a dozen ports, the most important of which is the feed from the router from upstairs. This happened out of nowhere and I don't think it's the switch unless the backup I tried is also bad. I also tested the cable leading from the router and it passes the continuity test at the very least. Even if that line was dead, wouldn't the switch show at least SOME activity as devices try to access each other? I'm no IT master, but peer to peer still happens in a network, doesn't it? Anyway, it's been a few days of trying to fix this myself, so I finally turn to reddit. Any ideas, lads?
