I pair my asus router in bridge mode with my satellite
If you can't get the remote DVR or LAN device connected directly, one can use power line adapters as a simpler solution to connect a LAN device thru the power lines in the home to the Orbi router.
ALso consider running some CAT6 cabling as well. Some cable companies can come and install new LAN cables in walls.

My question is can I use my old tplink/Asus repeater device and connect to Orbi network and transmission network by LAN to my DVR? Or any low cost product that I can get the wireless from Orbi and connect to my dvr thru LAN cable?
Does I need to get the NetGear manufactured powerline adapter or I can use any brand of powerline adapter?
My home got 2 ASus router which can change its operating mode to AP or Repeater, but it didn’t found my network.

You can try other mfr PLs. I would tend to keep with same mfr as NG for Orbi if the other PLs don't work.
