Questions about connecting my ISP's Pace Gateway 5268AC

Question

My uverse residential gateway (router) was replaced with a Pace 5268AC router. When I tried to connect my current Netgear GS748t-v4 switch, The pace router does not "see" it. Is there anything I can do? I prefer to wire the switch directly into the back of the router so I can access it.

I was able to connect the gs748t to an old Linksys switch which is then connected to the Pace router and it does work - I can see my devices, but now the GS748t is invisible. It's not listed anywhere on the router device table, I am unable to "discover" it.

I want to go directly from the GS748t directly into the ethernet port of the Pace 5268AC.

Any suggestions on how to get the Pace to see the switch?

Is the&nbsp;Netgear GS748t-v4 switch in the same subnet as the Pace router?

Yes ... in fact, I tried to plug it in directly to one of 4 ethernet ports on the back of the Router.

I have only one network domain - no subnets. All IP's are assigned by the DHCP server on the router.

Whats the ip address of the switch? What's the DHCP pool on the router? Is the Ip address for the switch in the same subnet as the router?

EDIT: FYI, 192.168.0.1/24 is considered a subnet, not a domain.

I don't know the IP of the switch - that's the problem. I don't see it in the list of connected devices on the router. And it doesn't show up when running the discovery tool.The DHCP pool on the router is default (192.168.1.64 - 253). The switch was set to get its IP address from the DHCP pool of the router.Why it's not showing up and yet the connected devices to the switch are clearly getting their own IP address and do show up. The switch, for whatever reason, is Hidden .

You should get familiar with the switch documentation - &nbsp;Switch IP Address link&nbsp;- took under a minute to find the links..
