Yes that should work. Be sure to check the CAT# vs recommended cable max length distance.

This provides approx 75 of exterior wifi to exterior of house. I need to add wifi to the shop and have conduit from modem area to shop 250 feet away. Can I use Cat7 for the longer run in conduit and use RBS50 as hard wired connection point in shop? Cat 7 would be connected from RBR50 downstairs to shop RBS50 with cat7 approx 275 feet.
Adding content for clarification: My wifi to the outdoors is great but will not reach to the shop. I was going to add a RBY50 for outdoor use but still would not be able to provide solid wifi to shop area for security system. Main dilemma is deciding between purchasing new ORBI ax 5400 or AX6000 for stronger signal but still doing same configuration as initial question. Problem with that being that the RBY50 outdoor range extender is not compatible with the newer mesh 6 system of the 5400 or 6000.
