Connecting Airport Express to switch disables wireless
Hi experts! Here's my current configuration:
Comcast router -> Airport Express -> 8-port switch -> in-wall ethernet cords -> Airport Extreme -> Smart TV, Xbox, Sonos, etc.
I have my network set up with the Airport Express as the primary base station in my basement next to the Comcast router and 8-port switch which is connected to all of the in-wall ethernet cords for the rest of the house. Upstairs, next to the TV, is the Airport Extreme which is set up to extend my network.
My goal is to connect the switch to the Airport Express downstairs so that I can add other devices in the other rooms of the house, but as soon as I connect it to the switch, the network goes down and I can no longer connect to the internet. As soon as I unplug the switch, I'm back up and running.
Have I done something wrong in my set up? I need the Airport Extreme to be near the TV so I can connect my other devices (Xbox, Smart TV)
Please help!
