Trying to get Stean Link working through a Switch !!!???

[Fortys!xand2]

Steam Link can't find my PC through a Switch. It can find my WIFI but when I try going through Ethernet it says "Cannot find PC make sure its on and Steam is running".

Is the swith connected to a router? And is the PC also connected to it?

[Fortys!xand2]

Yes I have my PC hooked up to the gateway and the switch on the same gateway and it didn't work. But I also have a Asus router hooked up to the Gatway for a second access point so I hooked the Steam Link up to the Asus and it works .....wierd.

I am also dealing with the same issue if anyone has information on how to fix please let me know.

switches can be very finicky with the steam link. If it's an unmanaged switch make sure it's routed properly connecting the line to the router to the uplink port. If it's a managed switch refer to the manual to disable dhcp.
Always connect switched to the last port in line on your router too (ie on a 4 port router connect the switch to port 4)

Glad it's working for you now. It kinda sounds like the Link wasn't getting an IP address, or getting an IP in a different network range when connected through the first gatway, odd that the pc works. Did you give the PC a static IP?

[Fortys!xand2]

No I didn't give it a static IP
