The outdoor RBS50Y Orbi has two modes:
- It integrated with any of the "original Orbi" systems (RBR50, RBR40, RBR20) but NOT the new RBR10 as an "Orbi satellite".
Also, not the Orbi Pro or Orbi AX models.
Does everything the other satellites do. Devices "roam". Devices select best access point. etc. - In "Extender" mode, it will connect to ANY brand of WiFi router, just like any other extender product from any vendor.

Most all orbi 20, 40 and 50 series work with the outdoor RBS.
The RBSY works in orbi or extender mode.
