Need Orbi Outside Access Point that works with Orbi App
I have just installed the Orbi 970 system and it works well. I would like to have a compatible outside access point that is weather resistant and can be compatible with the Orbi Application.
Netgear has not produced an outdoor rated access point compatible with Orbi systems since the RBS50Y for the original WiFi5 Orbi. Maybe they didn't sell enough to justify engineering and manufacturing one for the AX product line? There is an issue with 6GHz signals not being allowed outdoors.
If WiFi coverage outdoors is necessary, an outdoor rated WiFi Extender from any company is the only option, not a true Orbi satellite.
What many customers do is place an indoor rated unit against an outside wall, or even in a window so that 50% of the signal radiates outdoors.
Sorry.
