16 port ethernet switch connected to AC2100

[Wytytning]

I set up an nice wifi mesh system using the AC2100 Router/Access. The unit being used as my router has a 16-port unmanaged netgear switch as part of my network. Suddenly, in the morning the entire wired network dropped. I have tried a factory reset and slowly adding devices back to my network and again, the entire wired network dropped and will not reconnect. All the cabling is good shape (tested for shorts)

Any help would be amazing!!

What exact switch, is it unmanaged for sure?

Do yo get a connection if bypassing the switch?

Hi, everyone.
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.

Please excuse the lack of response on this thread as RL hzs been pretty insane as of late. To answer the original question, the switch I have been using is a Netgear GS316 Switch (16 - port auto switching unmanaged switch).

Since posing this issue, I have minimized the amount of devices hardwired to my network via the above switch. In order to verify whether it is an individual device causing the entire network drop would definitely take some time.

Hi Wytytning,

I'm checking back in. Are you still experiencing drops on your network?

Thanks,

No worries about the response delay, Wytyning. I'll keep the thread open so you can have the time you need to continue troubleshooting. Let me know if anything changes on your end.

Thanks.
