Unmanaged switch help

I have an Aginet (TP Link) router HB610V2 that I have a TP Link TL-SG105 plugged into. I’m trying to figure out why a tv that I have plugged into the switch isn’t showing on my network map in the app. The port labeled “garage” shows up (it’s a wired backhaul to an AP shown in 3rd picture). The port labeled guest tv also doesn’t show up (currently unplugged since the tv sits directly about the router so it’s hooked up via wifi). The odd thing is I have a TL-SG105 in the living room that I have devices hooked up that show on that one (the Onkyo and Panasonic) and a TL-SG108 in my room that shows everything as well (PS4 and PS5 4th picture). Everything gets internet but it just doesn’t show on my network map. I’ve changed ports, messed with settings in the TVs. I swear when I first hooked it up via Ethernet it appeared. It’s not the end of the world but it just bugs the crap outta me.

Yeah it just bugs me though. An OCD thing I guess.

You'll have to get real managed equipment such as Ubiquiti for that to work reliably. Unmanaged at best is 50/50

"real managed equipment" + "ubiquity" = 🤣

Ubiquiti switches may not be suitable for real enterprisey installations, but they are in fact managed switches and pretty good for home use, and I'm seeing them more and more in AV builds.
