Can you use a wire to connect RBK50 to RBS50?
I have a RBK50 router on ground floor and a RBS50 in the basement. I can not keep them connected wirelessly. Can I use a wire to connect them?

Of course:
Be sure to disable Daisy Chain on the RBR.
If you use a LAN switch in between the RBR and RBS, ensure it's a non managed and non Green Ethernet switch.

I used to use a green switch between mine and switched to a managed switch. Never had an issue and could always max out my speeds. If you run into problems, I'd look at this advice but I wouldn't buy new hardware without trying out your current stuff first.
