Hello all,

If anyone has any advice on what I should do next that would be greatly appreciated.

One of my sites has this setup:
Router (4Port) --- 16-Port Switch ---
--- Server Router
--- Device #1 (wired)
--- Device #2 (wireless + bluetooth to 2 other Devices)

When adding an 8-port switch to free up ports on main router, (segregated our server/stations) Anything added into the 8-port switch has no connectivity. I've tried multiple switches, all with same result. What would be going into the 8-port switch are pinpads (2 wires) WiFi Router, and Office computer.

Thank you in advance. Has me scratching my head, I've never encountered an issue with connecting a switch to router.

What brand and model is your router? Did you try a different uplink cable between the router and switch?

Since this is a switch to switch connection, if neither end is auto-crossover, then a crossover cable would be required.
