Connect the TP-Link Switch

1. Plug the Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable coming from the TP-Link router’s Local Area Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) or LAN ports into the first port of the switch.
   Important: Do not plug the cable from the WAN port on the router into the switch. Otherwise, you will lose the connection.
   
    
2. Plug different Cat 5/6 Ethernet cables into the remaining ports on the switch, and connect the other ends to the equipment you need, for example: Point of Sale (POS) system, kitchen printer, etc. You can use as many free ports on the switch as you need.
    
3. Plug the power cable into the back of the switch and connect the other end to a power outlet.
