Need to know if AEBS work like any other router and require one of their 4 LAN to become a repeater. second AEBS will have wireless and wired devices plugged into it. Trying to figure out how many wired ports it will have available (3 or 4).

If you want one AEBS to be the DHCP/NAT server and the second to be a bridge, you attach the second AEBS's WAN port to one of the first station's LAN ports.

--- DSL/Cable ---> |WAN * AEBS1 * LAN| <---> |WAN * AEBS2 * LAN| <---> other wired clients

There's more information in this Apple manual (p. 41).
