I'm running a FWG.  Should switches and APs be monitored?

  If you are in router mode, you can monitor anything you want.  (no need turn off monitoring)

  I am in router mode.  Is there a benefit to monitoring switches and APs?

  Switches and AP's are also IoT devices, so monitoring them will give you better security.  

  And more interestingly some routers when in AP mode, will send the guest traffic through the AP themselves, so monitoring them meaning, you can monitor the guest network coming from the AP.   (monitor also you can control traffic)
