Issue connecting specific devices over ethernet after router factory reset.
I have four devices on the switch, all of which claim to have an IP associated with them, but two of them cannot access Internet over Ethernet at all (even failing to ping the router itself). Network lights on everything are good but the router does not even recognize that two of the devices are connected. I have tried various arrangements of cords and ports on the switch so I'm fairly certain it's not that. The NAT settings are set to fully open.
I'm really at a loss as to what the issue could be. If anyone has any ideas or would like any more information to help corroborate a theory, I would love to hear what you guys think since I'm not much of a networking guy.
Thanks in advance!

Your post is confusing. Do you have 4 devices connected to some sort of switch? Is the router also connected to the switch? What IP address do the devices "claim" to have? What is the IP range for your DHCP server? Why would you open NAT settings - are you trying to let the world access your LAN?

All these devices IP addresses in the very same IP subnet, same subnet mask, ... ?
