Re: AC3000
The RBS50Y is an outdoor model satellite and you can connect to the RBR or RBS wirelessly.

Re: AC3000
so the unit just plugs into an outlet and it will connect to the orbi router/satelite? are there any other Orbi Extenders for outside that will work with the AC 3000 , that are less expensive? thanks

The RBS50Y is the only NG outdoor satellite.

The RBS50Y User Guide shows the steps to install, power, and sync the outdoor satellite to the Orbi system:
http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBS50Y/RBS50Y_UM_EN.pdf
There are also videos on the web showing the process.
"Outdoor rated" is not trivial, which is why it is more costly. Depending on what coverage is desired, some users install an indoor satellite right next to an outside wall and close to the area where coverage is desired. Really thick walls make this impractical, so sometimes people locate the satellite next to a window (regular glass, not metallic film covered).
There are outdoor rated WiFi access points from other vendors that are less costly, but they are not integrated into the Orbi "system". Just as the RBS50Y can be attached to non-Orbi routers as an ordinary (non-Orbi) access point, non-Netgear access points can be attached to an Orbi as an ordinary access point.
