I've just replaced a VM hub with a pair of Asus CT8 devices to create a mesh wifi, which is brilliant and I'm now getting 30x stronger wifi speeds in parts of the house that were previously very slow!

However, I'm having an issue with a wired connection. One of the CT8 units is acting as the router, and has 3 ethernet points, one of which is going up to a device in the loft which then splits it to 2 different hardwire points elsewhere in the house, not sure what that device is called? Anyway, the 2 TVs that are connected to those are not getting any signal. I tested the ethernet output on the router and that is fine, so either it doesn't like the device in the loft, or there is some other issue. It was working fine previously coming off the VM hub.

Any ideas?

I'd imagine the box in the loft is a switch. Have you restarted it?
