New cable between router and switch? Are you using a crossover or is the switch auto sensing mdix? "the other 2 pcs with ethernet cable work fine but the wireless router Couldnt get to work"
You get two but now three ip addresses from your ISP. The router didn't get a ip address. "detected an Excellent signal but no connection activity. "
Connected to wireless doesn't mean connected to the internet since the router didn't get a ip address from the modem via the switch. modem/router/switch is your best protection
