Hi,

Could you provide the model number of your switches and your network topology? Do you mean you cannot see the back end devices connected to the switches?

I have 2 cascade switches, TL-SG108-M2. I have a TPLINK 8980 used as an access point connected via LAN to the second switch. I put a fixed IP address. I can log in by typing the IP address, but I can't see it in the list of network devices. I have another access point, again with a fixed IP, Archer C1200, and I see it in the devices on the network.

Hi,

It is recommended to set the backend devices to automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP, and also reserve an address for the AP on the main router.

This can help the main router detect the connected backend devices and display them in the device list.
