XFi gateway only has 2 Ethernet ports
I bought a tp-link 5 port switch to add 2 extra Ethernet ports but the internet does not work on them. My iMac shows Ethernet self selected IP.
What can I do?

Well, then only one port will work. You'll have to connect the switch to an ethernet port on the router if you need more ports.

Unless you placed the XB6 in to bridge mode, either port should work . Have you tried both ports ? Have you tried power cycling / rebooting the XB6, letting it come fully back up, and then connecting the switch to the XB6 ?

I do have it in Bridge mode because I am using a separate router.
