Nighthawk RAX120 AX12 wifi6 outdoor extender

Looking for an outdoor extender (without POE) that is compatible with my RAX120 Nighthawk AX12 router. Something similar to Orbi Outdoor satellite WiFi extender (RBS50Y) would be great but I heard this is not compatible with wifi6.  There is no cat5 cabling available in the area that I need to install it.  Any suggestions?

    I don't know of any current netgear extenders that are AX and outdoor rated. 

    I've seen people use outdoor rated enclosures and putting extenders in them. The only caution is this is making sure they don't overheat.
