I would like to set up my wc4s mesh network with wired backhaul. Currently I have a SBG8300 modem/router, and ther WC4S with 3 units. Is the best way to accomplish this following these steps:

Set SBG8300 to bridge mode > Connect WC4S Main with WAN to SBG8300 > Connect (1) WC4S satellite unit via ethernet to LAN port on WC4S main 

 

There is only (1) available ethernet port on the WC4S after connecting it to the modem, does this mean only one satellite can be hardwired? Or, am I able to wire all satellite units directly to an ethernet port on the SBG8300, and have them all broadcast the same wireless network?

 

Set SBG8300 to bridge mode > Connect WC4S Main with WAN to SBG8300 LAN port then complete the setup of the main router using Surfboard central app after completing the main router setup, place the satellite next to the main router, power it ON and then start the satellite setup using the steps mentioned on the below article.

WC4S is similar to WC4T so you can follow the steps mentioned on the below article
