Orbi 960 Wifi Extender
Just learned we need a Wifi Extender for our new Orbi 960, AXE 11000, wifi 6E system to connect to an outside solar battery. Is there any alternative to a $600 extra satellite? Many thanks to all in ...

No.
If you can find a RBS50Yv2 outdoor unit that has Extender mode FW loaded on it you could use this to connect out side.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

How far is this device from the nearest RBR or RBS in the home?

Just read this about the outdoor extender:
- Not compatible with Orbi Wifi 6 systems
Worried that it won't work with the 960??
