Orbi RBS50Y Outdoor Satellites with Starlink Router
I apologize if this is long and if it has already been answered. I'll try to make sense with my thoughts...I work and live on a large ranch. We recently got Starlink, which has been a godsend for us ...

You're comparing different types of systems.
The problem isn't the Orbi.
Its the distance. 5ghz doesn't broadcast as far as 2.4ghz and 2.4ghz is slow and sensitive to interference in the first place.
Your Ayrstone Ayrmesh system is actually a point to point system like Netgears Airbridge. Meaning its directional so it can broadcast significantly further than traditional wifi. 130ft for traditional wifi is a challenge if it works at all.
You can't compare a point to point system to a traditional wireless system or expect it to function the same.
Plus, daisy chaining increases latency and decreases speeds.
Options to get the connection decent?
1. Get another Ayrmesh reciever to place in your office or get a different point to point system to connect the 2. I've never tried netgears airbridge but I've read pretty positive reviews.
2. burying an underground ethernet wire. 130ft isn't to far for a wired connection.You could simply bury a wire and that'd give you the best connection. Then you could simply put an access point in the office.
