There is another solution, a Netgear EX3700 WiFi Extender ($25US on Amazon)

https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Wi-Fi-Range-Extender-EX3700/dp/B00R92CL5E/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=netgear+ex3700&qid=1621986083&sr=8-3 

 

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.
