I am using the Orbi WiFi 6 System (RBK752) AX4200 Tri-band 2 pack at home. Now, I consider to purchase Add-on Orbi Outdoor Satellite (RBS50Yv2) AC3000.

In the Netgear website, Orbi Outdoor Satellite RBS50y and RBS50yv2 is only for AC3000.
Would the Netgear release a newer outdoor model for AX series in near future?

NG doesn't post any information on if or when new products will be forth coming.
