Any help would be much appreciated.
No. He is incorrect. (i.e. full of s**t)
Check the product data sheet (online)

None of the AX products are compatible with the older 802.11ac product line.

Bugger - thought that would be the case. Should have trusted my gut.
Thanks for replying. I'll stop troubleshooting now and put it back in the box.
Hey CrimpOn. Me again.
Nobody seems to sell the RBS20 anymore. Do you think the RBS50 would work with my RBR20?
All of the original Orbi residential satellites will function with the RBR20 router:
RBS50
RBS40
RBW30
RBS20
RBS40V
Satellites from other product lines are not compatible (Pro, AX, the "10" series, Nighthawk)
