EX and EAX series extenders are compatible. 

Or run a ethernet CAT6A lan cable from one building to the remote building and configure a RBS 20, 30, 40, 50 series

or EX or EAX series extender for AP mode and connect it to the lan cable that's in the remote building. 

 

Or even get a simple standard wifi router, R or RAX series and configure it for AP mode and connect to the lan cable that's in the remote building.

    Hello bwaterlot ,

     

    Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!

     

    I understand that you would like to extend your existing Orbi Mesh system network by adding an additional satellite. The best satellite for your existing setup is an RBS50. 

     

    Please navigate below for RBS50 purchase options:

    Best,
