SXR80-SXS80-GS308E is best. This model switch may cause problems between the SXS and the SXR.
If you need a switch behind the SXR, then a GS308 series switch, with out the (E) in the model# would be recommended.

Sounds good. Try not to over think it. Just make it simple as possible. I've found that non managed/smart switches work best for ethernet connected Orbi systems.
