It might not be convenient, but a wired setup would be better. You can connect the Airport via wire to the Orbi router or to any Orbi satellie, and you can use a long cord, so you should have some flexibility in where you place things.

See the instructions in this article. Are the Airport devices set to bridge mode, as described in the article?
