Can you hardwire RBS20 for wired backhaul?

My RBS20 don't have the same ports as that. Basically looks like only Ethernet OUT, not IN

You should have two ethernet ports on the RBS20 as see here on page 16:

These can be connected to a switch or the back of the Orbi router directly. These are bi directional ports.
