Orbing RBR 50 wired devices not working
I have a two-week old Orbi RBR 50 connected to a modem.
The Orbri is connected to a D-Link switch which leads to several wired devices (DirectTv box, Apple tv boxes)
After having to discnnect the Orbi to move the power cord, the wired devices no longer have a connection.
The wirelss conections work fine.
Can anyone siggest some troubleshooting steps?
The switch seems to be working fine and is fairly new.

The wired devices are on the "allowed devices"list. They just are not connecting.
Maybe while moving the Orbi around, the ethernet cable came loose in the jack (either the Orbi end or the switch end)?
What about plugging one of the devices directly into the Orbi in place of the switch?
Does the switch have tiny LED's showing connection status and traffic? If so, what does it show on the jack connected to the Orbi?
(It is SO annoying that Netgear did not include those tiny LED's on the ethernet jacks that indicate status and traffic).
All the ethernet cables are secure as are the power cords.
All flash green when connected.
I treid connecting an ethernet cable as directly to the Orbi as I could, but no change. Still no connection.
