RBR40 — Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Router -- Use with NETGEAR Orbi Outdoor satellite WiFi extender, w
Hi Everyone. We have a RBR40 router with two satellites. Very happy with them. Want to add one of the Orbi Outdoor satellites for usage with an outdoor security camera for watching wildlife mostly...
The chief advantage of the RBS50Y is that it is a true "satellite", which means that devices will roam seamlessly between it and the other Orbi units. (The primary disadvantage is the cost.)
If connecting an outdoor camera is the primary goal, there are many WiFi Extenders which are outdoor rated, and even PoE powered. Such as https://www.amazon.com/BYGLO-Extender-Weatherproof-Supports-Repeater/dp/B0BK8RFF1Q/ref=sr_1_7_sspa?crid=2A851ZJ74NP68&keywords=wifi+extender+%22outdoor%22&qid=1673299289&sprefix=wifi+extender+outdoor+%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-7-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFJUFVaTjUxU0xaOFUmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA3NzczNDA2SE1ZM1VZVlA1UFcmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDU0Mjg4MkpIWklRTVNSRkExRiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX210ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
This is just an example, and not a brand that I am familiar with. Searching Amazon will turn up dozens of "outdoor rated" products.
