Hello All!&nbsp;Has anyone tried or know if the&nbsp;Orbi Tri-band Mesh WiFi Outdoor Satellite RBS50Y can connect and extend a WiFi 6 network with a Nighthawk RAX 200 router and an EAX80 extender?If not, any recommendation on what to use for an outdoor extender on the abovementioned network?&nbsp;Cheers!!

Thank you for the reply but I have to ask what is the diference between extender and orbi mode?

I can't attest to connecting it to the EAX80 but I connected my RBS50Y to my RAX200 with it in extender mode. It won't work in orbi mode.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Orbi mode it integrates with the orbi AC series.&nbsp;
Extender mode it acts as just a triband extender.&nbsp;

I see. As I understand correctly in the end both modes act to extend the existing WiFi network outdoors, which is what I really need. It is unfortunate, that the RBS50Y doesn't use WiFi 6... is there an outdoor extender to use the WiFi 6?
