Thanks for the correction.

I thought it had wired ports, but that was not clear from my online search.

​​​​​You are correct. Here is the data sheet. http://www.arubanetworks.com/assets/ds/DS_AP205H.pdf

It can be powered by an 802.3af/at uplink PoE too.

I think you might be confusing the 205H with the vanilla 205.  The 205H definitely has a few wired ports on the bottom - one copper pass-through, one PoE, and two non-PoE, IIRC.
