    netgear only has 2 devices rated for outdoor usage. 

    The RBS50Y that has an extender mode or an orbi mode.

    The WBC502 which has an access point mode (needs to be hardwired in). 

     

    Some have used regular routers/extenders and just contained them in a weatherproof box.

      Thanks !

      Can I connect the EX8000 to the WBC502 with a cable ?

       

      So the question basically is :

      Can I exit with a cable from the EX8000 and plug into the WBC502 ?

       

      thanks

      Ciao

        should be able to. 

        Only thing with the WBC502 is it uses POE to power it. You'd need to go 

        EX8000-----lan cable-----power injector-----WBC502.
