Hello

 

In the last week I've upgraded all my networking equipment in my home to to TP-Link Omada and generally I'm pretty happy with it but I have 2 issues which both relate to my switches so I think I need to buy some new switches unfortunately which is a bit disappointing considering what I've just spent:

 

Issues 1. Only some of my switches are reporting IP addresses of clients plugged into them

 

Issue 2. I have followed the guides for making separate VLANS which work perfectly for Wireless clients on any of my 4 Wireless Access Points, they are put on the correct VLAN when I've linked the Wi-Fi SSID to each VLAN however if I try and assign my switch ports to VLANS the clients are unable to get an IP address I can only give wired clients IP addresses from my main secure VLAN

 

After quite a bit of research it would seem this issue may be related to the switches I have purchased not being capable of 1 seeing client IP's and 2 possibly not able to change VLANS

 

The equipment I have is:

 

1 x ER605 v2.20 (Has IP addresses visible for each client on each port, I don't need to change the VLAN on any of the devices plugged into the router LAN ports)

 

1 x SG2008P v3.20 (Again all IP addresses visible but if I try and change the port profile from Secure to any other VLAN the device attached to that port will no longer receive an IP address until I change the profile back to my secure profile again and the client will instantly connect again)

 

1 x ES205G v1.0 (No IP addresses and again changing the profile of a port will stop the client getting an IP address)

 

1 x ES205GP v1.0 (1 of the 2 clients plugged into this have an IP address the other is missing? But again unable to change the port profile to put an clients on a different VLAN)

 

1 x ES208G v1.0 (Again no IP addresses and no way to get ports to give IP addresses if Port profile changed)

 

I'm unable to get the VLAN profiles to take on any port I try, is this a setting issue or a limitation on the equipment I've bought? I believe the missing IP addresses are hardware limitation but the ES205GP confuses me why half of the IP addresses are visible but not the other half so it's clearly capable?

 

Can someone please advise what equipment I should buy to get all the IP addresses visible for all plugged in clients and also allow me to change the VLAN profiles on the ports for the following switches:

 

1 x 8 Port switch with at least 4 POE ports

 

1 x 8 Port switch (no POE required)

 

2 x 5 Port switches both with POE

 

What is the most cost effective equipment to achieve what I'm looking to achieve?

 

Thanks in advance
