GS105v5 with Google Mesh

I have seen very similar questions and close answers but cannot get my connections to work.

I have a Xfinity X1 modem - Google Mesh w/ 2 access points - Netgear GS105 setup.

I have the X1 modem in bridge mode allowing the Mesh to be my wifi with very fast speed. I am trying to run Arlo camera base unit and Western Digital MyFi external harddrive from the switch. Neither device can find a network. I have reset, unplugged everything multiple times and even went another round with Google support to no avail. Please help if you can! Thanks!

kvukmir,

Welcome to our community! :)

It seems that you are having issues with your network. May I know if everything is connected to the switch? Have you tried removing the switch in the network just to isolate?

Regards,

John

  Hi John,
  
  Thanks for your reply. The switch only has my Arlo base station and the WD ext HD plugged in.
  I have tried unplugging the switch and connecting the HD into the google mesh and that did work.
