The wifi radios can not be disabled on Orbi MESH systems. Mesh is intended to be online 24/7 for wifi connections.
I can’t move any of the locations as I’m limited by wall ports. Any other ways such as buying 3rd party hardware?
Put in a longer LAN cable so you can move the SRS farther away from the SRR.

700 sq feet? If that's right then you don't need the SRS satellite. You only need just the main router unit.
Nothing could be installed up in the attic area from the router unit to the SRS?
Try a Power Line adapter set. But if the size of the home is 700sq feet then you don't need the SRS deployed.
