You might try the Orbi sytem out by itself to see if it covers the areas you need first.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Other legacy device may or may not work. Something you'll have to try and see if they connect or not. If they support G and N modes, then they may connect. If they don't support WPA2 or AES security, you may try chaning the Orbi to WPA and TPIK to see if this helps if you really need them. However doing this will lower the security of the wifi system to a lesser secure mode. WPA2 and AES is preferred.
