I got RBR40 + 1 satellite setup in my house. But I think need a wifi extender to boost the wifi connectivity and speed at the area farthest from the mesh. From what I see to the videos and instructions, in order to connect the wifi extender, I need to click the WPS button on the router. But RBR40 doesn't have that button.
Will Netgear EX6150 wifi extender work with my RBR40?

orbi uses the sync button as a wps button.
With that being said, I wouldn't use an extender with orbi. it'll create a seperate ssid as well as orbi tries to dynamically move devices between devices/radios. An extender will add interference, a seperate ssid (half the point of orbi), and potentially drop connection because of orbi moving it around. It'll work but I'd highly recommend buying a seperate satellite for the orbi so you keep your seamless integration, seamless roaming, and wireless backhaul.
