The key is that Orbi satellites must appear to be connected to the LAN ports of the Orbi router. There have been any number of posts describing how a switch is located at a central wiring hub with the Orbi router and satellites in different locations with only a single Ethernet cable installed to each location. This leads to disappointment.
If the switch is connected directly to one of the Orbi LAN ports and devices (satellites, cameras, etc.) are connected to the switch, that should work fine.
