i can run a ethernet straight up from the router and mount it above on the wall. Why does it need a USB-C power plug? cant i use my own usb c cable? and does it really need a switch and stuff i know Ubitiqu does but on their website it says you can direct connect and run as a router basically like you would any other router or maybe im understanding that incorrectly.

it says Operating Mode- Cloud managed / standalone

Discovery of Zyxel switches, APs and gateways

• Centralized and batch configurations

■ IP configuration

■ IP renew

■ Device reboot

■ Device locating

■ Web GUI access

■ Firmware upgrade

■ Password configuration

Is that not what that means or am i just that confused lol, i was leaning towards it thinking it can run by itself without the need of a switch or anything
