iYou can use the CBR as a wired AP if you set a different or an IP address that matches what the IP address pool comes from another upstream router and disable the CBRs DHCP server. Connect the ethernet from the host router to the LAN port on the CBR and can use it as a wifi AP. You can add the RBS as well, however the top ring LED will always be on PINK and the front cable signal LED downlink will always blink as well, I tried this with mine and it worked.
