Welcome to the forum

Is the switch auto-sensing on the cable type.. If not then you should have a switch on one of the ports to cross over the link to enable a hub* to talk to a hub* (*switch/router).. Otherwise it'll have to be a cross-over cable (you can tell one as if you hold the ends together side by side the colors do NOT match pin for pin)
