FS726TP no connection to LAN from wireless
Hi all, I have a problem with my FS726TP switch which does not allow access from a wireless device (iPhone) to LAN based devices. DSL goes into the router, the switch is connected from the route...

Hello nobillings,
Welcome to the community!
If the switch has not been configured, it is acting as a passthrough switch only. You have pretty much isolated the issue here, the only thing that is not connecting to the devices is the iPhone with iOS 9.1. When the issue occurs, does the iPhone able to connect to the devices only connected to the router (totally eliminating the devices connected to the switch)? Can you contact its default gateway?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks,

Hi JohnRo,
thank a lot you for your answer.
All the devices are connected to the Switch, none directly to the Router, but I can try this. The router acts also as default gateway and it was able to connect.
Now, today I just thought I'd restart the router once more, and bing, now the second iPhone iOS 9.1 can connect again, but the iPad iOS 5.1.1 not anymore.
This points for me now again to the router as the culprit. It seems that somehow both the router and the switch (maybe a sync issue) can be responsible for the problem.
Tomorrow I try to connect directly a device to the router, and see what happens.
Maybe I'll try another router restart.
