Is there a weather resistant extender available for an RBR50?

I currently have an RBR50 plus RBS50 satellite in my home. I need to extend my wi-fi outside about 500ft to another building. From what I can determine from the online resources Netgear does not have a weather resistant extender that works with this model.

 

I have an option to get a RBK852 (AX6000) with satellite to replace this. Is there a weather resistant extender that would workwith that model?

 

TIA

500ft is to far for standard wireless.

I'd look at adding a point to point system like netgear airbridge or another point to point system. 

that'll allow you to bridge the gap and then add a satellite.

Thank you for sharing that with me (and the speed of response!). Looks like the Netgear kit is not available curently so I'll research other "airbridges". Thanks once again.
