10G Ethernet Switch That Works with RBE973S (Orbi 970 WiFi7 with 2 Satellites)
I’ve upgraded the Ethernet in my house to CAT6, and I’d like to get a 10G Ethernet unmanaged switch to use with an Orbi 970 series WiFi 7 router and 2 satellites. I’m looking to upgrade to a 10G wired backhaul for the Orbi satellites, plus 10G Ethernet connections for 2 PCs with Intel 10G Ethernet network cards.
I had a hard time finding a 2.5G switch that would work when I first bought the Orbi 970, since Orbi products don’t get along with unmanaged switches that have loop detection.
Has anyone used a Netgear XS508M switch with Orbi? That seems like an ideal switch for my needs, if it will work with Orbi.

Im running the 970 with a XS508M for about 8 months or so using CAT 5e and see line speeds. I also have it uplinked to a 100 Gbe QNAP managed switch and everything is smooth

XS505M and GS110MX work great with the 9 series.
CAT6A STP is recommended.
