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.

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,
Ger

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.

Catch up:
After connecting alle the Orbi stuff to the new non-managed hubs everything went fine and two satellites are ethernet connected.
I also asked Netgear Support to put me on the list when there is a new firmware that fixes the problem.
