Only the very early RBx50 hardware version had an USB 2.0 port. The usage was limited to some USB printer connection only when I have it right. That's why no Ethernet LAN adapter can be recognized.
Instead of USB experiments (where each device class needs a driver), I suggest to add an inexpensive GbE switch to the router or the satellite LAN port for adding more Ethernet ports.
