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 co...
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.
Thanks! I'm a newbie and don't even know what AP mode is. The extension is covered by a roof but open on the sides (it's a dock and "back porch" area. I would prefer just an outdoor version of the RBS960s that are in my home but currently have WAX630EP at the house, but ready to send back to Amazon in lieu of putting an RBS960 out there. What would you do? Remember, I'm a lame brain installing this. Thanks!

Many thanks for your help. We came to the same conclusion. I had just ordered a case from Amazon and another satellite late last night. I'm still learning about all of this. Anyway, many thanks for your great help!
If your going to run ethernet cable from the main building out to the remote location, be sure to use CAT6A STP cabling.
Good luck.
- Many thanks! I used cat 8.
Make sure it's STP.
Thanks! I ran two (only need one) Cat 8 SFTP cables in underground tubing to the dock. I put in two just in case one fails. Many thanks for your help!! Mike
Great plan.
Enjoy.
