ORBI and Switch

We are looking to use an Orbi router and 24 port switch for the wired computers. Is there a switch model that would be best to use with the Orbi?

Re: ORBI and Switch

Most any model will be good. Make sure it's NON managed and doesn't have any Green Ethernet features. If you happen to get a Managed switch, besure to disable ALL IGMP Protocols. Orbi and IGMP on managed switches don't seem to get along well. 

 

I've tested NG, D-Link and HP switches. I have a 24 port HP switch as my main LAN switch.
