Outdoor AX access point compatible with my Orbi mesh system
hi there,
Are there any outdoor POE AX access points compatible with my Orbi mesh wifi system?
thanks all ❤️

There are many WiFi access points that are:
- rated for outdoor use, i.e. weather resistant
- connected to the network with Power over Ethernet, which provides for both electrical power and data connection
But, there are no outdoor PoE access points that integrate with Netgear Orbi WiFi systems as true satellites, in the sense that devices roam seamlessly between parts of the system. This is the critical difference between using "WiFi Extenders" to expand WiFi coverage and deploying a "mesh" system.
Like many manufacturers, Netgear has commercial products which feature PoE access points (some outdoor rated), but the Orbi product line is not part of that.
Sorry.
