R6900P kicks all devices off network (Ethernet & Wireless) when certain devices join

This makes me think that the issue must have to do with the VPN settings on my work laptop. Does this sound possible in your experience? I've tried to have my company's IT department look into this but they made it sound like that wouldn't be possible. Or in hindsight maybe they just didn't want to be assigned to that ticket 🙂
Disable all your vpn/proxy/security on the laptop with issues. then connect it and see if it works. (could even try safe mode with networking).
then enable a service and try it. At some point you'll find what's causing it. Or trying to check with nord vpn and not your office IT department. They might know more about what conflicts with their service
