Does rain affect ? YES. Orbi systems are INDOOR systems. Not designed for outdoor use. 
Is same between Master and Satellite?
What about 60 meters ? What max speed ? Look at data sheet to see connection rates. 
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick answer and sorry if I was not clear enough.
Both satellites will be inside but the distance to cross will be outside 🙂

So will the connection be worse when it's raining ?
Distance between the 2 buildings is 200 feet (no walls only large windows)
Will it work ? What will be max speed (in that specific use)

Thanks in advance.

Stephane.

No outdoor RBS. 

 

Best recommendation for that kind of distance would be CAT6A buried LAN cable.

1) Outdoor : is it planned ?
2) so for 200 feet, I can forget ? Or would need. Another wifi solution ? Like Engenius? Because the cable is not an option 😞
Thanks in advance.

Hello colst03,

 

Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!

 

I understand that you are looking for an outdoor solution to extend your Orbi 960 network. At this time we do not have an outdoor Orbi AX satellite Wi-Fi extender available. 

 

Best,

Kevin

Unfortunately 😞
Is it planned ? Because you had one in the past.
And now that I have the optical fiber, my orbi 960 has really become the bottleneck...
Thanks in advance.
Stephane.
