XB8-T ethernet switch compatibility
I recently switched to the Xfinity XB8-T gateway. As soon as it was up and running, I ran into problems. I had an older Netgear ProSAFE Gigabit Switch connected to the gateway's 2.5G WAN port, and I figured that was the problem. I bypassed the Netgear switch, and my speeds improved. Now, I need a list of compatible Ethernet switches (preferably unmanaged) for the 2.5G WAN port. Either my searches were worded incorrectly, or Xfinity does not have a published list. Does anyone know what unmanaged Ethernet switches play well with the 2.5G WAN port?

There is no list because they don't certify Ethernet switches. Any 2.5 gig switch should work. As far as "playing well", you may be able to find some reviews online.
