I have an Ooma, and have had it configured for several years as:
(Cox) Internet <-- Motorola SB6120 Modem <-- DLink DIR-655
DLink DIR-655 <-- Ooma (Internet Port)
DLink DIR-655 <-- Trendnet TEG-S80g 8-Port Switch
Trendnet TEG-S80g <-- Various PC's and other devices
This has worked fine, no special configuration in the router or anything for the Ooma. I want to change it to where the Ooma is now plugged into the switch, and not the router anymore. When I do this, the Ooma refuses to work, no matter how many times I reboot all the equipment, or try booting order.
Why should this be any different? In theory, shouldn't the switch just be replicating more ports for the 4 port switch built into the router?
