I’ll have to look into the wifi access points. So you’re saying any brand of those will work via wired connection ? Are there any certain ones your recommend ?

The problem with their equipment was that I was not getting great house coverage and they wanted me to add 3 more satellites to get coverage at $10 each per month so made no sense not to buy my own system.
TP-Link TL-WA1201 sells for $40 on Amazon. It has only one gigabit Ethernet port for user devices. If you need more 'wired' devices in the shop that implies adding an inexpensive switch or moving up to a product with more ports, such as the Archer AX55. ($108)
- This may be a dumb question but I’m not an IT guy. For this access point will I have to connect to a different Internet source on my phone or will it automatically continue with my Orbi from in the house?
If your phone is in range of the Orbi signal, of course it will connect and use the Orbi signal.
