The scenario I am trying to setup is to get a good Wifi signal in my garage as I have a Cycling smart trainer & need to connect to the internet for apps such as Zwift etc. I have had an office attached at the back of the garage so have ethernet Cat-c cables running from house to garage. So was lookking to daisy chain off of my Orbi RBR50. Hence why i was after another RBS50 or like.
I would appear that all RBS devices appear to be out of stock in the UK at the moment, I see that the AC extenders have an ethernet port but can't confirm if that is only for connecting onward devices or could it be used to connect to my Orbi router & thus extend that way?
Any ideas

NGs EX7700 and 8000 line of extenders work with Orbi. They also have LAN Ports in back.
