ORBI and Switch
We are looking to use an Orbi router and 24 port switch for the wired computers. Is there a switch model that would be best to use with the Orbi?
Most any model will be good. Make sure it's NON managed and doesn't have any Green Ethernet features. If you happen to get a Managed switch, besure to disable ALL IGMP Protocols. Orbi and IGMP on managed switches don't seem to get along well.
I've tested NG, D-Link and HP switches. I have a 24 port HP switch as my main LAN switch.
