The Orbi usually comes from the factory with "Daisy Chain" enabled, but it would be useful to check.
On the Orbi web interface, the Advanced Tab, Advanced Setup, Wireless Settings there is a box "Enable Daisy Chain Technology" that should be checked.
After the satellite has been sync'd to the router, I would power it off and move it close to the existing satellite, then power it on. It should sync with the satellite over the router at that point. Then, move it to its final location. The final location has to be close enough to the satellite to get a good signal (Blue Ring light).
