I have a Roku that is connected to the orbi satellite but I would like to connect it to the router wirelessly. Is this possible? If so how? My roku does not have a wired connection by the way

Orbi routers and satellites broadcast exactly the same WiFi name (SSID) on both 2.4G and 5G WiFi channels.
WiFi devices include networking software which examines the signal from every available access point (router, satellites, neighbors), ranks them somehow, and chooses one to connect with. When it already "knows" the WiFi password and is set to "connect automatically", it just does it.

When the Roku device goes through the network setup, it choose the most desirable WiFi connection. The router and satellite have no control over which access point the Roku chooses.
