Thank you for the update! I found a Dlink 24 port switch with a toggle to disable EEE (green ethernet) so I purchased that. It was about double the price of the other switch I was looking at but this one comes with a rack kit so I guess I will keep this one. Thanks again :)
Yeah obviously I have read that article.. I have also read the countless posts of people having issues. I actually chatted with Orbi/Negear support and they confirmed you cannot have a switch with EEE in between the RBR/RBS.
