Not ideal but imo a working theory however swapping it for a new router would be better
You need to set the router to an IP in a different range to the rest of the network as otherwise the router will look at the traffic flowing through the switch and try and gate it through the built in modem.

I use the above set up with my IP cop firewall/router box and a netgear wireless router, just the switch and the wireless of the router is in use.

My network is on 192.168.100.x addresses, and the IP of the netgear is set to 10.0.0.1.
