It's a cheap 10 gb 5 port switch from TRENDNet.

No idea if this is a good switch or not. I'm using a NG XS505M and GS110MX when I have a 9 series online.

Yeah, those are quite a bit larger (and the 10 gb unit even has a cooling fan).
I know the TRENDnet is functional - I can copy from the iMac to the Synology at > 900MB/sec peak (even using a SMB file share).
I assume your ownership of those switches mean that you run a 10 gb network segment within your infrastructure - what happens when you connect a 10 gb leg to an Orbi's LAN port?
Do you get the LAN port's full speed out to the internet?

Yes, though my ISP doesn't have anything over 1Gb. Yet. I get to spec speeds with RBS ethernet connected.
