Wie viele LAN-Verbindungen sind beim RBS20 möglich?

Wie im Titel bereits beschrieben, interessiert mich wie viele Geräte man (ohne Switch) an einen Orbi RBS20-Satelliten hängen kann. Ich weiss, dass zwei RJ45 Stecker vorhanden sind aber manchmal ist von zwei LAN-, manchmal von einem LAN- und einem WAN-Port die Rede. Kann der WAN-Port für den Anschluss eines zusätzlichen Clients genutzt werden oder ist er nur für den Anschluss eines Satelliten per LAN an den Router?

    RBS20 (Orbi Satellite) has 2 LAN ports that you can use to connect wired devices to.

    RBR20 (Orbi Router) has one LAN port and one WAN port. The WAN port can only be used to connect Orbi to the ISP modem/router (internet source).
