Devices connected directly to RJ45 Jack in home office works great but if connected jack to switch there is no connection.
I am sure that Calix Gigaspire Modem/Router has a model number on it somewhere. Most likely on the nameplate.
I am not at all familiar with the Calix series of devices. Recommend you look into the user configuration to see if a setting is preventing assignment of IP addresses through your switch.
Do you know who initially setup the Calix modem/router?
Is your internet service delivered over coax, fiber, something else?

My ISP setup the modem/router and it is fiber.

Kitsap County?Since your ISP set up your modem/router, they would be the first point of contact to ask about connecting a switch downstream of one of your Ethernet outlets.
Yes, Kitsap County.
What area are you located?
