Did you give the new router exactly the same SSID and password as the first router?
All devices should have connected automatically.
Since the new router may have been broadcasting before the satellites were synced to it, maybe the Nest cams all connected to the router? Can you restart the Nest cams and see which Orbi they connect to?
