Thanks for the help.  I used #3 and it seemed to work last night.  However my satellite shows amber so I need to either move it closer to the router or get one more satellite.

With the Orbi in AP mode you do not need to disable the wifi. Just be careful about what devices connect to.

Without more information about your network, it is hard to interpret what is going on there.

 

Have you tried using the satellite as it is?

 

The lights may be useful to see what is going on, but the real measure of things is to actually use the network and see what happens.
