It can be simpler

Only the first base station has to be connected to the LAN via ehternet. All of the others don't. As long as they are in wireless range of each other all they need is power via a wall outlet. Base station 1 which is connected via ethernet passes info to base station 2 wirelessly which then passes info to base station 3 wirelessly, and so on, and so on. All of the other base stations pick up info from one another.
