    I would suggest the following:

    • Disconnect all wired devices from the switch.
    • Connection one wired device, and manually assign an IP address, 192.168.0.5 for example, and the subnet of 255.255.255.0 (Follow manual as below).

    If you can access the switch on 192.168.0.1 you know the reason for the issue!

    Here's a link to the full manual to guide you through changing the IP address, as Roger mentioned above (Page 19/20 of the pdf, or 11/12 in the document itself), or even set it to DHCP so it will acquire an IP address from the HUB 5 itself.
