Orbi 7 Wired backhaul and Aruba 6100 Managed switch
Hi All, I just received my brand new Orbi Wifi 7 Router and 3 satellites. I set the satellites up first in wireless backhaul after updating to the latest firmware (v9.12.2.1) on all devices. Too...
That's a smart switch, aka, managed so no.
Any switch with characters after the ### in the model name is a smart/managed switch or having some form of management user interface with features that can be changed.
The MS105 of that series is non managed so could work. I don't have this model. My XS505M and GS110MX are non-managed switches and work. The GS110MX seem to be the only series with characters after the model number that's not a managed or smart switch.
You'll need to connect up a non managed switch in between the RBR and RBS. There is a known issue with managed switches causing problems with RBS ethernet connected on the 970 series system which NG is already aware of. No idea when that will be fixed. NG GS-105/108v4 and GS308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems. XS505M and GS110MX work great with the 9 series. MS105(2.5Gb Non managed)
Hi , thx for the info.
So iI understand right that any unmanaged switch will work with the Oribi 970 serie?
Do you know if the Net Gear ProSafe MS510TX will work also?

Ok Thx again.
I just ordered a GS110MX.
It has just enough ports and is 5-10Gb speed so I'm prepared for the future when my Fiber will be upgraded.Still a pity that NG doesn't mention this before people buy such an expensive Mesh Wifi7 solution.
Kind Regards,

I think it's something that crept in and didn't catch it soon enough. Hopefully NG will get this fixed.
Ya, the GS100MX is handy for sure.
Good Luck.
