Hi I’m confused as to why my Arlo Hub won’t reconnect to my network when it’s plugged into a gigabit switch that’s plugged in to my router.   If I plug it into a port on the router it connects fine but as soon as I try and connect it to a network switch on the same network it won’t connect.  Having these hubs sucks balls especially when I already have a very fast and secure network.

What model switch?

Are you seeing it in the router's attached device list (after you connect it to the switch)?

If the switch has LEDs, are you seeing a good LED status?

 

The smarthub uses "fast" ethernet (100 mbps) - not considered "fast" anymore.  There could be a negotiation issue with the switch, especially if it supports 2.5 or faster ethernet.

 

FWIW, my own smarthubs are connected via a switch, and I've had no issue.
