I have an RBR50 connected to 3 RBS50s and an RBS50Y on the way to sit outside and extend the network into the yard.  I need some sort of a wireless access point at the end of a driveway for a camera - wireless to ethernet.

Solution #1 would be to run an ethernet cable out to the camera location.  Outdoor rated CAT5e cable is not expensive.
(Alas, installing ethernet cable is neither quick nor cheap.)

Solution #2 is what I did: Purchase a WiFi security camera. "Problem solved."

(Alas, your security system may not support WiFi cameras. Dang.)

Sollution #3 is a gizmo that connects to the Orbi over WiFi and has an ethernet port for the camera..  A Netgear EX3700 is one such gizmo, as is the TP-Link N300.  The KEY to all this is that there is electrical power at the camera location (a) to power the camera and (b) to power the "WiFi to ethernet" gizmo that connects the camera.  My guess is the camera is already weatherproof, so the problem is making the gizmo and its electrical supply weatherproof.  Put it into a plastic enclosure and somehow weatherproof the electrical cord.
