The RBS are capable of handling local wired and wireless connections. They are fairly flexable so it would be kind of your decision on how to want to connect devices. For some devices, wired is preferred. Some less critical then wireless of course.

Thank you for the prompt reply. Each satellite will be a minimum of 30 feet from the main modem. I wasn't clear in my original ask as to whether it benefits to get the multi three satellite option for each floor to gain speed by plugging in my work laptop/printer from my home office across the main floor, plugging in my son's playstation in the basement, and/or plugging the smart tvs upstairs versus having the RBK852 one satellite system provide wireless coverage to all floors with no direct plug ins. Thanks again. Will review the links.
