alphareturns Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I cannot identify my device in Device Manager when the device is plugged into a wired switch. I am trying to identify the device, so that I can see up a geo filter assigned to my pc. Yes I have internet and a good connection.

Netduma Liam Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Welcome to the forum! Is the Netgear switch managed or unmanaged? Are you able to see the switch in Device manager? What else is connected to the Switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The switch is viewable in Device Manager, however it sees it as a modem and does not allow me to edit any of the details. Xbox & PC are the only two things connected to the switch. I am going to update to the Beta Firmware right now and see if that solves my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphareturns Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 @Netduma Liam The Beta V2.3.2.108 solved my problem. My switch now shows up as a modem under WAN & the devices connected show up under LAN. Confirmed by matching the IP. You can close the topic. Thanks!
