SXS80s lose ability to recognize devices when daisy chain through XS508TM
I introduced a XS508TM switch into a working network with SXR80 router connected to 3 SXS80 satellites. This replaced a unmanaged switch (updated becomes wanted capacity of multi-speed ports and to d...

Would it be correct to assume that default port configuration implies that there are no VLAN settings configured on this switch? (i.e. it is set to function like a typical Layer 2 switch?)
VLANs introduce a whole "can of worms".
The problem is stated in terms of WiFi devices not being able to connect to any of the SXR80's WiFi networks. What happens when a device is connected to one of those satellites with Ethernet?

Thanks. You are correct...VLAN default settings on XS508TM switch are causing the issue. Network connection between Satellite and wireless + wired devices works fine when unmanaged switch is between satellite and router. When using the managed switch, the satellite will only connect to devices (wired or wireless) when I set a static IP for the default VLAN.
"A can of worms" is true, even after researching and working through the manual to configure VLAN settings right.
Thanks
