How To Setup A Network For Building-To-Building?
(This is not about the Orbi or Range Extender, i did not know where else to post for help.)
This is my current network map:

Stephen,
You mentioned a Radio Link. Do you have a part or model number for that device? I'v e seen lots of outdoor antenna options that have the standard female connector that you would screw into an adapter. I guess that Radio Link is the adapter i've been looking for? Would that Radio Link allow me to connect an Ethernet cable to it, then feed that to a router?
For the backhaul option for the Orbi mesh... Do i have to connect the backhaul to the main router, or can I cannect the backhaul between two satellites?
Thanks for the help!

No. Just the NanoStation link above(which is an integrated antenna and radio system). Again, this is not a product I've used myself.

That's exactly what the NanoStation does. Ethernet connected at both sides, with a radio link in between. The ethernet can be connected to a switch, router, whatever. The radios do need PoE, but you can use a power injector. Not sure if one is included in the box (and if you get your own you would want to contact the vendor and make sure it is compatible).

Not sure if you can do ethernet backhaul to another satellite - that's not something I've done. It'll perform best if you can reach the router.
