Netgear orbi router RBR 40 with RBW30 satelights I need a remote wired connection to my shop

I need to set up a wired connection to my shop that is 100 + feet away. Talking to my service provider they said the the easiest way was  to buy another orbi satelight and just plug it in to the cat 5 cable and an outlet and the satelight would mesh with the router. I would be all set. But the satelights that I have do not have a ethernet port to be able to plug into. What Orbi Satelight do I need to buy?

Yes, you would need to use CAT6A out to the shop and you can use a RBS40v or EX7700 or 8000 in AP mode:
