The 2 buildings are 150 Ft and I own 2 systems. The Wifi just barley reaches the 2nd building at about 10-20mbps.

My ATT Fibre Router has the wifi disabled and just pushes the internet through to the Orbi and the cat to to my remote building.

It should work fine either way.
What orbi system is it?
Some of the older AC systems can be picked up quite cheap on renewed/refurbed. MIght be worth checking that
Here's the orbi compatibility chart.

Should work. With that many, you could set it up either way with separate systems using both RBR's or as a single system leaving out the 2nd RBR and holding it as backup
