Orbi RBS50Yv2 compatible with existing router?
I want to puchase the Orbi RBS50Yv2 outdoor range extender. Will it work with my existing Amped Athena router conneced to my cable service?

Yes, the Orbi Outdoor can be set up in Extender Mode which will let you use it with an existing, non-Orbi router. For more info, please check out this KB article on how to set that up: https://kb.netgear.com/000060131/How-do-I-set-up-my-Orbi-Outdoor-Satellite-in-Extender-Mode
As CrimpOn says, the RBS50Yv2 is a satellite for the Orbi system. It is not a generic wifi extender.
