help needed troubleshooting communication between devices connected to Omada AP and Linksys router

I just added an ES208GP and EAP650 to my existing network - ethernet from my existing router (Linksys WRT1900AC) to the switch, and ethernet/PoE from the switch to the AP. I'm using a software controller running as a Home Assistant add-on.

I configured two SSIDs on the EAP650 with the same name and password as what I have configured on the Linksys router, but when my phone connects to the new router, I'm not able to access my Home Assistant server. As soon as it connects to the router again, HA connects immediately.

One other thing I can think of that's possibly worth mentioning - I don't have any VLANs set up on the router, just separate 2.5GHz and 5GHz SSIDs.

I'm guessing I need to do something to allow communication between devices connecting to the router and those connecting to the AP, but I'm not really sure what to check and hoping someone can help point me in the right direction.
