Outdoor Options for Extending Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Network
I currently have an AX6000 Orbi Pro setup (1 router + 2 satellites). I'd like to extend range outdoors for better connectivity for outdoor cameras, etc. I did a search of the forums and the RBS50Yv2 looks to be compatible with the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 line but wanted to confirm as much along with also confirming whether it should be setup in Extender or Orbi mode since I saw at last one reference to setting up in Extender.
Thanks,
Bill
there are outdoor AX access points but they'd need to be hardwired.

As far as I'm aware it only runs in extender mode with the new AX mesh.
Its not compatible in Orbi mode.
Thanks. Would be nice to have an option that is Wifi 6 and more directly compatible with the AX mesh systems but I guess in the absence of that, this is likely the best option
