Not sure what this statement means. The RBS50s are basically a wireless switch, unmanaged switch. Wirelessly connecting to clients and backhauling to the RBR50 wirelessly or via ethernet.

My RBS20 has two ethernet ports, one being used for the backhaul and the second I hoped to wire to an Ethernet device.
