1. Connect your switch to power. Make sure that the power cord is firmly plugged in to the back of the switch.
2. Connect your computers/devices to the switch. Each port on the switch will correspond to a specific device, so plug each device into the correct port. The cables should be firmly plugged in.
3. Make sure that all of the devices have the correct network settings. Each device needs to have an IP address and the same subnet mask.
4. Test the connection by accessing the internet or sharing files with the other computers. If it is working properly, then you have successfully installed your network switch.
