Orbi RBR50 External Compatibiity

I have an RBR50 and RBS50 i purchased a year or so ago for in my home. I want to now extend this beyond the internal confines of my home and into the garden. As opposed to purchasing a completely separate product. I was hoping that an additional extender or outdoor extender would be available. Looking on the internet i appear no longer able to purchase an additional RBS50. So my question is two fold, are devices available now are compatible with my existing mesh RBR50, and are there any specific external extenders that would work with it.

Can i ask, in terms of the network linking the devices together. Can my outdoor satellite talk to an indoor satellite talking to the router. Or do all satellites need to be able to communicate with the router direct.

If Daisy Chaining is enabled, then satellites can link their backhaul to another satellite instead of the router.  Daisy Chaining is enabled by default.
