WAX214 SSDP help requested
I have a python script called vadim.py that uses ssdp to discover devices on my network. See full script at https://github.com/dumbo25/wemosetup and vadim.py The goal of the script is to find al...
I went back through the JGS524PE settings. The one that seems to make a difference is QoS Mode, which I changed from 802.1p-based to Port-based. And now the script works! Yay! Thank you!

My understanding of ssdp is it does not work across network segments. Somehow a network segment is created when the AP is not directly plugged into the ISP's gateway.
Nah, you still have a single flat network, just adding a switch does not create another network segment. this was true decades ago on classic yellow thick Ethernet with AUIs and the thin wire Ethernet with the RJ11 and the T-connectors on the computers. Multiple segments used to be created by deploying bridges with various filtering or blocking. Oh I was young back then ... around 1980 tech that was.
If you are still in the free support window for the WAX214, I suggest to create a support ticket vis https://my.netgear.com/ - should not happen that simple (de-facto industry standard SSDP) is blocked by the AP and/or the switch. If the switch has ICMP Multicast support enabled on the primary VLAN, don't mark "block unknown multicast" just in case.
Keep us posted please.
