Network setup validation with the Orbi RBR852 and a switch
Hi there,
I'm planning on buying a Netgear Orbi set for my new home, but before taking the plunge I wanted to validate my idea for the setup. Hope that's okay.
For my home I will be going for the set with one satellite, which should be enough (140m2/1500sq ft). I will be setting up a wired backhaul and my biggest concern would be the Ethernet switch between the router and the satellite. This is all fine as shown in the Orbi documentation but I want to add additional devices to that switch and worry about a performance hit for the satellite end.
Please have a look at the diagram in the attachment and let me know what you think.
Looking forward to your feedback.

Yes, that will work.

NG GS-105/108v4/GS116, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems.
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
