What’s the best way to add this wirelessly? I k know I can add another satellite but I really don’t need one. Are there other less costly options that won’t hinder performance?
Do you have an old wireless router, e.g., that you used before your Orbi? If so then those almost always can also serve as a wireless bridge for your Orbi wireless network.
It's a bit of an overkill and there are other "wireless bridge" products you can buy for devices that required a wired network connection, but it's likely something you already have. Here's an example: https://kb.netgear.com/24105/What-is-bridge-mode-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Nighthawk-router
