Orbi outdoor RBS50Y leaks..ruined by water

Unfortunately the RBS50Y can't hold up to all weather elements forever. So basically if they leak after 1 year, Netgear will not warranty it.

We stopped installing them and now use weatherproof boxes and regular Satellites. They range from $30 to well over $100, depending on size and brand. That's the only solution if the router is going to be in a sunny, very hotor cold, out in the open environment.
