The most obvious solution is a masonry drill bit to punch a hole through the wall in an inconspicuous place to use ethernet cable to connect the satellite to the router. There are telnet hacks to turn off individual Orbi radios, but my understanding is that the satellite 2.4G "fallback backhaul" uses the same radio as the front-facing 2.4G service.
