Wirless devices can't connect to wired devices on home network

Hello,

I'm having an issue where nothing wireless can talk into or see anything wired on my network (everything is on the same subnet).

ISP (verizon) ONT connects to -> SXR80 Mesh system (with 2x SXS80 satellites) This is my main router. I connect to the GS728TPv2 to uplink internet with an Ethernet cable then a fiber cable to the GS110TPv3.

My dekstop & servers are on the GS728TPv2. I can ping everything on the network wired & wireless from here. For example my phone, tablet, or laptop on a wireless connection to the Mesh system can't see, connect, or ping anything that's wired.

I've got no idea what settings or feature to look for.

Thank you for any help.

    What happens if you connect your wired devices directly to the SXR router?

      Nothing Wired or Wireless will go through the SXR router/satellite to the GS728. Internet passes through it and devices on the main switch can see/ping devices on the SXR system.

        Ok, lets take the GS out of the mix. Does wireless and ethernet connected devices communicate while only connected to the SXR?
