Thanks everyone for the replies by the way!

Yea it really is. Everything, especially the fact that it works
connected to the router, seems to point to an issue either with the
switch or it's power supply. I'd have to chase down a PSU (I might
even have a universal one hanging around) to test the latter.

What's odd however is that only the HDHRs seem to be sensitive to, or
affected by the switch. Other devices work perfectly on it. Stranger
yet is that my slightly older HDHR is still connected to it and has no
problem at all, and yet even the new HDHR had problems....sort of
random at that point.

Both of my existing units have the original firmware from 2016. I've
never done anything to them. In fact that one that's working on the
switch has 20160411 while the only that doesn't play nice with it has
20161117. I may try updating the problem one to the current firmware
and see what that does.

Thanks!
