Thanks for confirming this. Seems to be the limit as per the linked article.
Might try to see if you can install a non managed Gb LAN switch behind the MR and ethernet connect as many MS to the switch or MS that if need a 3rd MS at a remote location, ethernet connect it to this switch to avoid the 2 MS DC limitation.
Good Luck.
