Orbi is not the right product for your application.  Orbi is designed to provide blanket WiFi over a contiguous area, not to provide reliable data links between distant points.  What you really need is pairs of wireless point-point links between buildings then a wired access point inside each building for client WiFi. Point-to-point links have directional antennas and are designed to maintain good throughput and a reliable connection.  You could still use Orbi inside the main building where the Internet drop is. In theory, since you alread have them, you could wire a satellite to the point-to-point device at each building to provide client WiFi in that building, but I wouldn't recommend that if you didn't already have the sats.

I'm not trying to provide wifi inside the buildings, they are occupied by animals and tractors. The purpose of the wifi is to provide coverage for the wireless security cameras that are on the outside of and between the buildings. So it is a contiguous area that's covered by security cameras. The only place there are people are in the house where the router is.

Thanks. Slightly different application, but the technical limitations are still the same, so Orbi is still a poor fit. Orbi doesn't have directional antennas, so the sats and router cannot achieve a good stable link over the distances you're operating.  You would still be better of with PTP links and an AP on each building close to the casmeras.

Good luck though.
