Outdoor Range Extender for Orbi WiFi 6
I have Orbi WiFi 6 AX6000 and need to extend the range outdoors. I’d appreciate any recommendations for WiFi 6 outdoor range extenders that work with the AX6000.

The only 2 outdoor rated extenders from netgear is the
RBS50Y. I haven't heard that it was working in orbi mode (yet?) but i've read of it working fine in extender mode.
and
WBC502. its netgears airbridge but has a access point mode. It'd need to be hardwired in for that mode.
NG doesn't have any WiFi 6 outdoor rated extenders as of yet.

Mount an RBS850 satellite in the weatherproof box, and configure it as a wireless addon satellite. You would need electric at the point of install.
