Can I add a RBS50 satellite to a CBR40 modem?

I have the Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Cable Modem Router (CBR40). Will the 

AC3000 WiFi Satellite (RBS50) Orbi Tri-band Add-on Satellite, 3Gbps, work with it?

Thanks, JO

        You can connect the RBS50 to the CBR via ethernet and see if it gets an IP address from the CBR, if so, use this IP address to try to log into the RBS web page using admin and password as the log in for the RBS. 

        What FW is on the CBR?
