WIFI on G3100 disabled when device connected to the GS108 and FS105 Switch

Seem to have a problem that WiFi stops working on the verizon GS100 Router.

 

Setup.

1. I have a Netgear GS108 (8 port) and FS105 (5 port) switch daisy-chained. 

2. The Internet from ONT is connected to the GS108

3. The GS100 Router WAN is connected to the FS105 switch

 

Problem:

1. The WiFI works fine but when I connect a device to the FS105 switch the WiFI on the Router stops working but the device on the FS105 is only able to acces the internet.

2. The LAN connections on the GS100 Router works fine since I am able to access the Storage device through the WiFi.

 

The verizon folks are unable to help me. Could anybody help me?

 

Regards,

 

Daljit

There's not much that anyone here can do about your router. (Is it G3100 or GS100?) If you want help with your switches, try the appropriate section of this community.

 

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to
Home WiFi Adapters and Powerline.
(This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

Complete mess - nothing the switch community can help, too.

 

ONT must be connected to the WAN/Internet port of the router, the switches must be connected to the router LAN port(s) ony.
