Model: Archer AX6000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 200714

I have substituted an old Netgear router with Archer AX6000.

From the router I connect three different unmanaged switches (Netgear brand).

 

Just plugging in the cables already in place, the link leds on all the switches become off. No link at all. The network is shut down.

 

Do I need to use crossover cables?

 

Thank for the support.

No, you don't have to use crossover cables - actually these devices should be able to auto-sense the cable type. Just try to unplug one of the switches and bring near the AX6000, then connect it to one of AX6000 LAN ports with a new shorter cable. Does the switch behave the same ?
