Orbi RBR50
I am using the Orbi RBR50 plus two matching satellites with excellent reception. I have recently installed a Ring Doorbell Camera outside near my front door and the Ring app is telling me that the wifi signal is weak at the front door. I found two older Netgear AC750 WiFi Range Extenders, model EX3920. Can use one of them with my Orbi Mesh network to extend the wifi signal to a location near my front door in order to increase the wifi signal. Are they compatible? Any special instructions ? Thank you.

Yes, they certainly should be compatible with the RBR50. I have connected a similar product (EX3700) to my RBR50.
The goal is to create a WiFi signal that is strong enough for the Ring Doorbell where the doorbell is mounted.
Obviously, the EX3920 has to be located where it has a good connection to one of the Orbi units and where the WiFi signal from the EX3950 will reach the doorbell. This may take some experimentation.
I would create a new WiFi SSID specifically for the doorbell so that it will attempt to connect only to the EX3950. Have the smartphone connected to the EX3950 when setting up the doorbell. Once it is working, the phone can connect to any WiFi.
