RBS50Y WI-FI coverage
I want to extend my WI-FI to my shop which is about 250 feet or so from my Orbi router. Does the RBS50Y have enough coverage to acieve this and without a lot of buffering?

I agree with plemans that 250 ft. is "asking a lot" and unlikely to be satisfactory. Other community members have mentioned using products designed for "distance". I would search the forum for ubiquity. (For example, https://www.amazon.com/NanoStation-NS-5ACL-US-802-11ac-Airmax-Radio/dp/B07GPQKLXW/ref=sr_1_10?crid=2N2CW8B44QDD&keywords=ubiquity+nanostation+m2&qid=1563747568&s=gateway&sprefix=ubiquity+na%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-10)
(I am not pushing Ubiquity. A number of companies sell "point to point" links that are a lot less expensive than a RBS50Y.)
