    Yes. Unmanaged and non green ethernet is preferred. If it happens to be a managed switch, disable ALL IGMP procotols on the switch.

        Depends. Do you have a router upstream from the RBR? 

        What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

         

        If you don't have any router upstream from the RBR, then the RBR can run in router mode with the switch connected behind the RBR and all LAN devices to the switch.
