Sorry, no.  Orbi satellites connect ONLY to Orbi routers. They have a hidden 5G backhaul link that the TP-Link router does not support.

Need to look at TP-Link products first.

Agree with CrimpOn .

On the other hand you will be able to add an Orbi Router (RBR) in AP mode to your existing TP-Link router to extend your wifi range.

Later on you can also add one or more Sateliites to the Orbi Router to further extend your wifi coverage.

Good luck.
