Your system can also use:
RBS20, RBW30 (no ethernet port), RBS40, RBS40V (smart speaker), RBS50, RBS50Y (outdoor), and the EX7500/7700/8000
The RBS40V tends to be the cheapest option as you can usually find it on sale for around that $100

I have used a Netgear EX3700 for this purpose.

This is not a "satellite" in the sense of being part of the Orbi "mesh" where WiFi devices will roam between it and the other Orbi units, but it has an ethernet port so that a device (such as a computer or television) can be connected.
