Help changing an RBS50 from wired backhaul to wired backhaul
I have an RBK53 system running in AP mode, router and satellites are running firmware 2.5.2.4. My satellites are currently connected over wireless backhaul, but I have run cable and would like to mig...

Yeah. That was what I meant wired to wireless, doesn't look like I can change the subject title.
I haven't had a chance to bring the satellites back to a direct connect to the router yet. I need a time when no one in the house is relying on our service. In the meantime, when I do try, do I need to reset the satellite and/or the router.
The switch in my wiring closet is a Netgear GS108, I don't see anything about 802.3az on Netgear's data page, but the Amazon sales page implies that the switch supports it, and as an unmanaged switch I am not sure I would be able to turn off support if it does have it.

One thing to add, I do have a TP-Link TL-SG108 and a Monoprice 10927 available to me both of which supports 802.3u and ab, but doesn't mention az on the spec sheet (the Monoprice router mentions supporting Green Ethernet without citing the spec). Thoughts on whether that would be a better option in the closet in supporting wired backhaul?

I can't recommend anything TP-Link.
