1. what modem are you using?
2. what firmware is on the RAX?
3. What switch are you using?
4. Are you in a double nat? it can cause issues with the routerlogin connect as well as possible the printers as well. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
5. do you have your computer set to "private" connection in windows? Or public? it might not "find" the printers if its on public.

Thanks Plemans. I figured out the problem. Our IT guy recently set up a VPN for us to connect to the office from home, and it can't see the router when the VPN is on. Disabling the VPN fixed it.
I appreciate the help.
