Status is showing BOTH Satellites as Wired Backhaul when only one is?

Not that this is a big performance issue since they DO work but long story short I've got two of the full size satellites. One is upstairs and is indeed Ethernet Backhauled the other is in my basement which is utilizing standard wireless backhaul. Am I the only one? LOL

If you're referring to plugging into the WAN port that wont work in my setup as the Router (In AP Mode) is plugged right into a switch not a WAN device.

The WAN port is supposed to be supported in AP Mode as well...
