It does seem to be the very bottom end of the market.

I can understand that.

But this I'm having real trouble with unless it was a serious electrical
problem.  Why would any ethernet device damage another node on a network

You should be able to work out how to set it up based on the info at

You should have a user guide on the CD that came with it and I suspect it
will be very similar to configure at the 3808 which has a quick start
setup guide at
