Orbi Outdoor and cable modem compatibility
Does anyone know if the Netgear Orbi Outdoor wifi range extender/booster is compatible with my Netgear CG3000-2STAUS cable modem supplied by Optus?
I have a seperate dwelling about 18 meters from the cable modem position but the signal is weak and intermittent there. I'd like to boost the signal with a wireless outdoor extender.
The Orbi Outdoor looks like the ideal device but I can't find any info on compatibility.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, the RBS50Y can be connected to a "non-Orbi" WiFi system. See the installation guide here:

This satellite is clearly intended to be part of an Orbi system, but Netgear has no other outdoor rated WiFi units. So, the RBS50Y has a switch so it can be "Orbi" or "non-Orbi".
