RN 214 cannot connect after connecting to switch
I had my RN214 set up and working with my old router. I upgraded to a Mesh system and added a TrendNet switch between the new router and the RN214 and now I cannot get to the rn214.
Here's what I did:
1. Installed new router
2. Connected TrendNet TEG-S50ES switch to router. Switch is configured as a DHCP client, and ports 1&2 are using LACP to create a bonded connection for the RN214.
3. Set up the bond on the rn214 (I was connected directly to the RN214 to do this.
4. Connected the RN214 to the switch and rebooted the 214.
5. Attempted to connect via ReadyCloud and by directly connecting via the IP address. ReadyCLOUD reports that the NAS is offline and the browser simply times out.
I'm sure that I have done something wrong. I am no network guru. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
K

Can you try disconnecting the RN214 from the switch, and connecting one of the LAN ports to the router? See if that restores connectivity.
