I would like some clarification

Hi all. I enjoy technology and networking but I am still a relative noob. I purchased a new router and hooked it up today. All devices connected to the WiFi just fine but none of the hard wired devices were listed on the Linksys app (Linksys router obviously). I was trouble shooting for a good little while by changing DHCP set to manual on one of my computers and assigning an IP and also using auto DHCP. All of my devices were connected through a dumb switch was was connected to the router. I finally decided to turn off everything that was connected and it now seems that everything is working just fine. I was hoping someone can clarify why that was the solution. I thought everything I had was “plug and play”. I appreciate any helpful responses. Thanks!
