The RBS50 to RBR850 wired connection doesn't make any sense as bascially your are what, creating a switch with the satellite and expanding what 4 ethernet ports? That doesn't help anyone's situation at all if they are using the RBS50 as a satellite.

Ethernet backhaul support is there for users who may have a need to connect RBS past the wifi connection point with the RBR or rather have the RBS work as a wired AP in that kind of configuration. Makes perfect sence to have flexability with RBS connections. I've used my RBS50 in wired ethernet back haul and works fine. NG doesn't support the RBS50 wirelessly connected to the RBK852 currenetly. Hopefully in future udpates they will.
Ethernet will always be more stable than wireless.
Currently the RBS850 cuases problems via eithenet backhaul and xbox gaming. Working with NG on this one.
