RBK852 compatibilty with RBS50Y

Hi,   It does seem Netgear has not yet released an Orbi Outdoor Wifi 6 extender ... So, could the current Orbi RBS50Y be fully compatible with the RBK852 ? Thanks in advance for your comments

It's not currently supported. NG was said to make the RBS50 and RBS50Y compatible at some point. No information on this as of yet on when or of this will happen.

    Hi,

     

    Thanks a lot for your insight.

     

    Basically, if my understanding is correct ... should I desperately need to buy the RBS50Y Outside unit, as a consequence, it also means that I have to change my router and purchase the RBR50 ...

     

    Thanks
