Hi there, totally new to this so here goes. I am moving in to a new home, the first time I have an Optical Network Terminal inside the front door. 

 

I am planning on the following set up and want a sanity check if possible. 

 

1. ONT straight to Orbi Router (thinking RBKE963)

2. WI-FI controlled by Orbi and 2 additional satellites to the router (3 storey home, 3000 Sq FT) <For this size of home, you'll only need 1 RBS. 

3. LAN to unmanaged switch (thinking GS308) which feeds 6 CAT5 points that are wired in to the home which will feed my PS5, 4K TV and a few other items over time. <CAT6 is recommended. CAT5 doesn't fully support 1000Mpbs connections and may cause problems. 

Review this to make sure RBS are ethernet connected correctly if you choose to use this method:

I just need to make sure I am not missing anything here as it feels too simple. 

 

Finally, I am using ‘seethelight’ as my ISP on the Open Fibre Network and not sure if people have had problems with them using Orbi as the router instead of their standard one which is a ‘Technicolor DGA134NLK’

 

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers ONT the NG router is connected too?
