ORBI AX11000 SYSTEM AND EXTENSION QUESTIONS

Greetings! I have 5 Orbi RB960Bs in my home working well together. We are building a dock around 130' from the house and have run a Cat 8 cable to the dock to set up Wi-Fi. What device might we connect at the dock to extend our wifi from the house to that area? Is that possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately there isn't a outdoor version of the 9 series.

Only suggestion would be to put in a outdoor electronics case then you could put in a indoor RBS unit inside of this case:

AP = Access Point. Just a mode where the router portion is disabled leaving the wifi radios running for wifi access with devices.

Could just add any ol wireless AP, RBS or a wifi router set to AP mode and connect it to that lan cable running from the home to this area...

  Thanks! I've purchased a WAX630-EP. Maybe overkill?

    Probably. Mixing residential and commercial products may be more complicated than you want.
    
    In addition to the Ethernet connection, it might be useful to consider:
    
    How the unit will be powered?
    
    How the unit will be mounted?
    
    Does it need to be weather resistant?
