Devices connected to switch not seen by router

2022-07-14 05:44:42 - last edited 2022-07-20 01:32:58

Model: Archer C7

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 3.4

I have devices connected to a simple 8 port switch which is connected to my router.

The devices on the switch are not seen by the router.

Only devices plugged directly into the back of the router (or via wireless) are seen by the router.

Any idea why? Or how to troubleshoot? (I tried a different switch and another, identical router with the same results.)

This was working for 2+ years and just suddenly stopped working.
