What is Reddit's opinion of NETGEAR Orbi Outdoor satellite WiFi extender, works with any WiFi router, gateway, or ISP rented equipment (RBS50Y)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The only traditional mesh node I found is a Netgear Orbi unit that works with their RBR50 mesh system:

Note that the Unifi APs you found will work fine for what you want to do and they are more likely to resist years of aggression from the elements. However, they work in a slightly different way and may be more involved to set up.

Amazon has the outdoor satellite right now and for the cheapest price I've seen in a while. However, I would agree with a previous response that a wired backhaul would be the best solution. Get some Cat7 ethernet cable and bury it. That's what I did for a 250' run from a friends lake home to the sauna and it works great. Just didn't want to bother with any wifi drops at that range. The satellite has been outside in an extreme northern climate with temps down to 30 below zero. I also ran cameras off the backhaul.
