So I recently moved into a dorm at my university, and my dorm currently only has two Ethernet ports, but I have two roommates. I anticipated this so I brought a cheap 5 port gigabit switch with me to split one of the ports. However, it seems that something is done on the back-end where I can't connect more than one device per each of the room's Ethernet ports. If i plug the switch into one of them, and something into the switch, everything works fine, but if I try to plug another device into the switch it acts like it isn't connected to anything. Unless, i disconnect the first device, at which point the second device starts working, and reconnecting the first device causes it to act the same way the second device did at first. Is there anything I can do to get around this or not?
