Best option to extend RBR20 network outside
I have the Orbi router RBR20 and one satellite unit RBS20 and want to extend the range of my wifi to a greenhouse about 50 feet from the house. I have enclosed areas like a garage which could put another RBS20 closer to the greenhouse but wonder if an outdoor unit like the RBS50Y would be even better if it was mounted on the exterior of my home. There certainly are a mind-boggling array of products available. What would you recommend to extend my range with something compatible to the RBR20/RBS20 Orbi system?

THe RBS50Y is best for outdoor use and coverage.
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
