Thanks Matador, my eyes weren't deceiving me 🙂

Thanks matador43 - thats better!

I see two RJ45 connections - which could have different purposes = Ethernet, PowerLink, Digital PowerLink, ir eye.............

Now we can start wondering - or guessing - what the <...> labels beneth could mean.

I would randomly and phantasmagorically guess that power link wouldn't make sense for a single point, multi-room speaker. Even more when current Beolab lineup has Wisa.
IR eye (back from the 90's), wouldn't make sense either when currently sold remote may be Bluetooth and as far as i know there's is not much modern B&O stuff responding to IR. 

But all that said, maybe that would be a stupid to think that one socket would be WAN and the other LAN, as Apple did with the Airport express when they figured out that the old AE with one RJ45 monopolized the ethernet connection or needed a router to use the LAN along with Airplay and then add a second ethernet port to the 2nd gen AE. Even more when <•••> is a common identification for network socket.

Of course that would be total Sci-Fi as B&O is very well know for its Wi-Fi reliability and nobody never had to choose between plugging an ugly router, or choose which of the computer or the metal musical cone will benefit of the wall wired connection speed at the expense of the other device stuck at wifi ratings.

Randomly and phantasmagorically of course, just to increase my messages counter…

Bang and Olufsen buy-in oe parts/schematics and finetunes this to their liking. Two ethernet ports would probably mean they sources a new ‘base’ for the coming years. Hoping for stability in software, networking and hardware.

That's the icon that (at least) Apple use for ethernet.

A new pricelist in Germany starting from 1. March 2020

There is only an icon with the BeoSound Balance .... NO Price und NO Text ..... 😕 😕

I think it's obvious that one of them will be ethernet. Where Wireless is an issue, it's needed and software updates are done via ethernet at repairshops.
All the latest products have ethernet sockets.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Its 2x ethernet, so you have the option to connect an extra etherner device without the need to run 2 cables

An internal switch? I would be very surprised... No other B&O product has 2x ethernet for networking.
