Wifi extender for RBE871

Question

I have an Orbi 870 network. I have 3 satellites which cover the full interior of my property and the bank garden. I have recently installed a security camera to the front of my property and despite being very close to the router, it's got an external wall between it and the router so signal is very weak.

I'm looking to find out if it's feasible to add a simple wifi extender to the existing mesh system that I can place close to the camera so it can connect to it.

I guess the simple question is can I add a simple plug in extender to my existing network and, if so, what are the best budget options?

Yes. There are some indoor extenders that will work, NGs EX, EAX or EXS series.&nbsp;
NG has a outdoor business AP that could work for you as well. WAX610Y series&nbsp;

Thanks as always FURRYe38​&nbsp;

Would the EX6110 work with the Orbi app though as it only seems to mention the Nighthawk app?

FURRYe38 · Answer

All E series extenders are Nighthawk units so you'll need to use the NH app when connected to that extender.&nbsp;
