Can I connect RBS50Y to the new RBKE963?

Question

I purchased the new&nbsp;RBKE963 WiFi 6E. I would like to connect my RBS50Y so I still have access outside.&nbsp;Is this something that can be done?&nbsp;Thank you&nbsp;&nbsp;

Apparently it cannot work as another mesh satellite with your AXE system, but you might be able to use it as a generic extender (not the same wireless network like Orbi satellites):&nbsp;https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-WiFi-6-AX-and-WiFi-6E-AXE/Getting-RBS50Y-work-with-RBRE960/m-p/2208201

Please let the community know if this works as I have an outdoor satellite and may update my RBR50 mesh at some point and would still like utilise the outdoor satellite.&nbsp;

Users need to install the Extender mode FW on to the RBSY unit and should help to get it working.
