Using RBR850 / RBS850 as AP with Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro?

I just purchased a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro to handle all the routing duties for my network as I do not think the Orbi router is up to the task, but I was hoping to repurpose the RBR850 and two RBS850s as hardwired APs off of the Dream Machine Pro.

 

I am wondering if anyone has tried this setup already? Anything I need to be aware of?

NG GS-105/108v4, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems.

 

For any Ubiquity support information and help, please visit there forums regarding there product. 

 

Good Luck.
