Mixed LAN/Wi-FI Local Area Network creation with Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router (RBR50)
I have the following product Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router (RBR50) and I would like to create a mixed local area network using a network switch to connect devices such as pc, smart tv, printer and dvr, such as switch, with at least 6 ports; and which network cable do you recommend since I should upgrade to fiber?

any simple unmanaged switch will work.
Just go router----switch/satellites.
I've got it setup on mine with both a unmanaged and a managed switch.
What model of unmanaged switch do you recommend?
I don't.
I've used several different brands/types of unmanaged switches and they've all worked fine. I used to see reports of issues with them but haven't in quite a while. So pick the one with the ports you needs (plus some for expansion) and go with that.
- Good afternoon, some devices are about 100 meters away from the switch and the LAN cables should pass next to the electric wires, which cable do you recommend, because they told me that a shielded 7 cable is more performing over 15 meters.
