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

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): 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.

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