Mixed Lan with orbi AC3000
I have the following product Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router (RBR50) and I would like to create a mixed local area network using a network switch to connect devices such as pc, smart tv, printer and dvr, such as switch, with at least 6 ports; and which network cable do you recommend since I should upgrade to fiber?
What do I need to wire such a network in a three-story house by passing the cables through the existing light conduits?

Those will work find until your ready to upgrade.
I recommend getting the non (E) versions of the switches.
I found a bit cheaper pricing by getting used or refurb'd equipment.Good Luck.

As long as the RBS gets connected to the back of the RBR, with a non managed switch in between, your good there.
If you have in wall lan cabling, these just need to be connected to this switch as well.
NG GS-105/108v4 and GS308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series 8 and 24 port switches work for Orbi systems.

You need to find a compromise between the available space in the installation pipes, cable quality, fire protection in the electrical installation (legal requirements).
