GS108 prosafe switch added to network but having trouble adopting previously working unify APs
I recently attempted to remove a netgear r6400 router from my set up as this was redundant and was essentially only serving as a switch and likely creating interference with wifi due to too many devi...
No ports to deal with, no firewall or the like in the GS108 - as an unmanaged switch anyway, and certainly not a router.
perhaps i can simplify the question as the prior response did not contain anything that helps to solve my issue
Internet source is Xfinity Xfi device.
how to i get 3 unify AP's and 2 apple airports to adopt/connect/be recognized?
currently getting error saying AP's adoption failed, and airplays no longer found.
trying to connect Xfi to 108 switch and all peripheral devices hardwired into the switch.
everything currently works when hardwired to netgear r6400 router.
thank you

Can only guess. Is the Xfinity xFi probably configured to bridge mode, and the Netgear R6400 does all the required LAN services (DHCP, handling private LAN IP addresses, like 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x). Not only your Unfi APs require this, also your Airplay devices..
With the R6400 in place, login to the Xfinity xFi CPE if possible, and change it from Bridge Mode to full router mode.
What Xfinity says: "If Bridge Mode is enabled on your xFi Gateway, you’ll be able to access a version of the Xfinity app with limited features to manage your account, but you won't be able to use any Xfinity xFi features to manage, personalize and secure your home network."
Probably some nice fellows here can assist, or you have to talk to Xfinity support for assistance in cant you can't figure out on your own.
Keep in mind we're Netgear community members here, neither Xfinity xFi, nor Unify experts.
