In the shop, it runs into another powered switch for added cameras in the future. Can I install a second wireless router (Orbi or really any brand, I'm not sure I would need another orbi there) off of that switch for wireless in my shop?

The most reliable method by far is to run a Structured Data Cable, Permanent Link, or Hard Wired Connection from your ISP ( Internet Service Provider) Router to the outbuilding
