    make sure it's plugged in to a working outlet, with a functional cable and make sure the psu isn't switched off

    It turned on but now no video is displaying but my gpu is getting power and I tired integrated but nothing happens

    Unless you might have use for it elsewhere, yah. Just get a different router instead if possible.

    i just tested this when the switch was used as a buffer between the airport and the modem it made my pc internet faster. when i took the switch out it slowed back down

    Yah, that's a modem only device. You need a router such as the Airport, or a different router, directly connected to it and then the switch for it to work properly.

    You should be able to access it by going to 192.168.100.1 though

    so i should just return the switch?

    That's not possible if it's a pure modem with no router functionality as I mentioned previously.

    Any chance you can get us pictures of the modem?

    i found the modem it is a aris tm106. it was a replacement our old one supposedly got fried in a thunderstorm

    Then you need to plug the switch in the airport's second ethernet port. Modem->airport->switch.

    then thats not going to solve the problem that basically how it is already i want the modem to give the airport internet and my computer internet. my computer is already hooked  up to the airport plugging the switch into it wont make a difference

    What CAT level Ethernet cable are you using? This shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know why else you airport would be bottle necking your connection so significantly. 

    it should be cat 5 i can check but i was not the one who originally set up the modem.

    What if you both, then plug in JUST the PC? Do you get any internet that way? Also, I've got an Airport Extreme, and I don't experience any bottleneck through that when compared to directly from my modem.

    i only get internet by having the modem and the airport plugged into the switch and then plugging my pc into the airport

    1. What model modem?

    2. If it's a pure modem then it will hand out ONE IP address to the first thing that asks and ignore all additional requests meaning if you hook up a switch and connect multiple things then only the first thing that asks will get an IP (A public IP) and nothing else will get an IP address. If you swap devices you need to reboot the modem for it to hand out a new address.

    3. What internet speed are you paying for?

    4. What model airport? What speeds are you seeing when connecting through it?

    1. it doesnt say i looked for it forever i cant find it on the modem it was given by our isp

    3. 50 mbps although its supposed to be 60

    4. its the newest model (dont know off top of head) connecting through it gives me about 15 Mbps over wired and about 2 over 5ghz wireless

    It probably took for granted that your modem was also acting as a router. If you use a separate modem that doesn't offer router functionality it won't work. You can connect the switch directly to the airport or, if the modem does have router functionality and they are simply disabled, enable dhcp on the modem (and disable it on the airport).

     

    the modem has no functionality i cant access the modem settings at all

    What's wrong with the airport? Is there a reason you can't hook the switch up to it?

    the airport is not giving me the full speed of direct hookup to the modem so i bought a switch and plugged the modem in and the the airport and then tried my pc. the airport is working fine though
