    Part of the puzzle here is that the RN526x's 10GBase-T LAN ports won't connect to anything slower than gigabit ethernet - and the SF200 is a 10/100 switch. https://kb.netgear.com/30952/What-Ethernet-speeds-are-compatible-with-my-RN526x-or-RN626x

     

    So I suggest checking the other devices that won't connect, and see which ones support gigabit.  You can of course put a gigabit switch between the SF200 and the NAS.  Or upgrade to an RN628x, which has two gigabit ports in addition to the two 10GBase-T ports.
