Switch compliancy with Orbi RBK23

[Sigsgaard]

Dear community

I just bought the Orbi RBK23 kit and would like a wired backhaul, therfore I'm looking for a compliant switch.

Read all the posts, but I do not find any Netgear Orbi recommendations of switches, with make and model.

I read they should be unmanaged and not green, but it is quite hard to find a gigabit switch which aren't using either Green or Energy-Efficient Ethernet technologies.

Questions:

1. Does Netgear provide any list of compliant switches for the Orbi backhaul?

2. Is Green and  Energy-Efficient Ethernet both problematic or is it only Green?

My setup:

Fibermodem to Orbi router

Orbi router to Switch

Switch to wired devices and Orbi satellites

Hope for your help 🙂 Best Peter

I've got both a managed switch and 2x green gigabit unmanaged switches on my network. 

I haven't had a single issue with them. Some have said with managed switches to simply disable igmp.

I've tested D-Links 105/108 series switches. I presume NG GS1-5/108 are similar. D-Link DGS-1100 works too, it's managed. IGMP disabled.
