Recommended Unmanaged Switch (Non-Green) for use with Orbi

I'm looking for recommendations on an Unmanaged Switch (Non-Green) for use with the Orbi RBK40 system.  I ordered a TP-Link 24 port unmanaged switch and it didn't play well with my Orbi.  I believe it was due to it being a green unit.

    I prefer HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches. 

    Some have said that NGs GS105/108 works with Orbi even though they seem to have some Green Ethernet features. 

    I've tried D-Links DGS105/108 and they have worked for me as well. Also D-Links DGS-1100 is a managed switch that doesn't have green ethernet and you can disable it's IGMP protocols on it...works with Orbi.
