My network setup is a Virgin modem providing internet to a TPLink router using 192.168.1.1 which also acts as a dhcp server for the range of 192.168.1.100-254. The Netgear GS908E receives the internet connection from the router via a cable plugged into port 1. I have connected my laptop to the GS908E via cable plugged into port 8 and I can easily connect to the switch using 192.168.1.170. My laptop IP address on the cable is 192.168.1.10 and when I switch my laptop to wifi with the ip address of 192.168.1.100 it can no longer see the switch.

Access Control in place on the GS908E limiting to a certain LAN IP or small subnet? Or something completely oddly broken on your WiFi router....

Hi,
I have tried adding my network range to the access control using
192.168.1.1-254 255.255.255.0
but it didnt accept the IP address. Would I need to add all ip addresses manually?

Even using the Netgear Switch Discovery Tool, I can see the device but not connect to it.
