RBR750 - adding an outdoor Access Point
Can I add an outdoor Access Point to one of my Satellites via Ethernet? If so what Netgear model?

there isn't currently an outdoor satellite for the AX orbi's. And even the AC orbi that is outdoors, doesn't have an ethernet port.
You could look at using a standard outdoor access point but it wouldn't integrate with orbi.

Thanks. Can I daisy chain a 3rd satellite to one of the other two satellites? If so, then I would just put it in some sort of weather proof container. Just trying to get WiFi at my dock.

You can daisy chain.
I would be a little careful about an enclosure. You still need some air movement to keep the unit cooled or it can over heat. And if its outdoors, that can create moisture.
If you're just wanting coverage on your dock, you can use the old school RBS50Y and use it in extender mode. It won't integrate with the orbi but will work.
You could also use the netgear airbridge. it has an extender mode and can run off ethernet.
