Which product would I get w an ethernet port to connect to a console that can pair with my Orbi?
I have an RBR40 — Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Router with a satellite that plugs directly into the outlet, but it does not have an ethernet conection capability.
Which product would I get w an ethernet port to connect to a console that can pair with my Orbi?
Do I have to spend several hundred again to just get a satellite w that ability?
Thank you!

There is another solution, a Netgear EX3700 WiFi Extender ($25US on Amazon)
This does not enlarge the Orbi WiFi coverage area. It merely connects to the Orbi WiFi (actually any router's WiFi) at either 2.4G, 5G, or both and has one ethernet jack that can be used to support one device (or a switch).
Actually, any brand of WiFi extender with an ethernet jack will do the same thing.
