Extend wifi

We have Upstair, downstairs and a side building in our House 204 square meters. We have router and one sattelit placed upstairs. We thought that it was enough. But the side building is a wifi dead area. Can we buy an Orbi plug in that works with RBR50 AC3000.

    You can use any of the Satellite models to extend your network, the following Satellite models can be used:

    1. AC3000 Sateliite RBS50
    2. AC2200 Satellites RBS20 or RBS40
    3. AC3000 Outdoor Satellite RBS50Y

    What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
