Looking for Outdoor POE Extension for Orbi Mesh in Home
The outdoor Orbi Satellite appears to be power only with no POE capabilties. I have ethernet available outside of house (Thick Backhaul Blocking Basement Walls. So quetion is, what POE Extender ...

My mistake. I don't use Orbi RBS50Y units because they don't hold up well in Florida. Instead, if an Orbi system, we use RBS50 satellites in waterproof outdoor weatherproof WIFI enclosure cabinet boxes. This way, if needed we can wire them for a better backhaul. And the boxes hold up better to the weather.
I'd believe the boxes hold up to the weather better. I'm in minnesota and don't dare run my rbs50y outdoors once it starts getting cold.
I'd imaging the florida weather is a little easier on it :)

Florida winter weather is better But we are the other way around the end of spring, all summer and beginning of fall. Our temps have been 90+ with humidity darn near 100. Hot and steamy. It eats up the yard cases and they collect too much moisture.
