Mk63 Mesh system compatibility with the Orbi outside range extender, RBS50Y
I have purchaced the MK63 Nighthawk Mesh system and the ORBI RBS50Y Outdoor Satellite range extender to improve my business's WiFi system. I intend to use the ORBI to mesh with the Nighthawk system to extend my systems overall range outdoors to an estimated range of about 175 - 200 ft. and place one of the Nighthawk's Satellites at the end inside a building. The building is a wood frame structure House. Will this equipment and arrangement provide the signal strength that will be needed at the house, to operate several devices , ie; TV, computer, streaming sticks , etc? Normal use, in other words to access the internet! I do have a large metal building between the Router site and the house. I will mount the ORBI on the back side of this building providing "line of sight" between the router and the house. Any thoughts on this?
Internet <-> Router LAN <-Ethernet-> Airbridge (main) <-TDMA over air-> Airbridge (barn) <-> Ethernet
As I wrote before: A wireless network cable.
Router can be any, Netgear Nighthawk Mesh router, Orbi router, Orbi Pro router, ... and in the barn you can connect a switch, a Nighthawk Mesh satellite, and Orbi Satellite.

Distance would be too far. You may want to bury a LAN cable or try NG wifi air bridge system:
Ok, thanks for the response, I will check on that. I take it that "NG" is NetGear? In your system, did you bury any cable, such as those you listed? And is there a limit to the length of LAN cable one can use before experiancing voltage or signal drop?
