Compatible switches to ORBIRBK853/753
May I know which switches are compatible with rbk8/753 models? Preferrably netgear/orbi brand. Thank you in advance.

NG GS-105/108 and GS-305/308
Avoid the models with a Letter character after the model GS-###( )

So just to be clear, GS-108X is not compatible but GS-105 is, right?

GS108 is compatible,

Just avoid the GS-###Letter) seen here model. The (Letter) behind the model# has additional features that cause problems with Orbi systems that if the RBS are ethernet connected thru these switches, may not work right.
If you are not going to ethernet connect the RBS thru a switch then you can use any model GS series switch, managed or non managed, including the models with a Letter behind the model #. I.e. GS0108T. <This model and similar models is considered a smart/plus managed switch. https://www.netgear.com/support/product/gs108tv3/
