We have a fix for Managed Switch issue. You do not need to do any changes on Orbi side. However, there is probability some managed switch might have looping protection, this will need to be disable.

You can specify a MAC address to use in the Orbi router IIRC. Wouldn't this get around the issue you're describing?
Maybe for internet connection only but that still leaves you without the connection to the set top boxes for the menu.
