Orbi and switch

I’m a little confused about the Ethernet backhaul. I need to hookup 2 devices a computer and camera system to the Ethernet port on the router is this possible? Do I need a unmanaged switch?

If you use a managed switch, be sure to disable ALL IGMP protocols. 

 

For managed switches, review NGs GS105/108 series.
