What happens if you connect the PC directly to the XR router?

It still shows up as offline on the tree when the PC is connected directly to the router. I think it has something to do with different ips showing up in he phone switch app and in device manager.

Are you using any reserved IPs for the switch or PC.
What happens if you power everything off. Then power ON the router, then switch, then PC?
- EQJunkySep 27, 2019GuideYeah that’s what I did. So I powered everything off waited a few minutes then brought everything back up. Now the PC shows up as online on the LAN but the switch shows up as offline with a bunch of other devices.

Lets remove the switch from the XR for a bit and connect everything up as best as you can.
Wondering if the switch is causing something here...
