I have a spare RBR50 lying around

I now have a spare RBR50 lying around that I'd like to add to the existing mesh network to improve the Wi-Fi because it's a large building. Can this RBR50 in AP mode act like a satellite and connect to the mesh network with no ethernet cables? If I push its sync button and the sync button on a satellite, will it connect? How about if I push its sync button and the sync button on the main router RBR50?
If it won't connect wirelessly, perhaps I could run an ethernet cable within the same room between the spare RBR50 in AP mode and one of the satellites. Will it work then?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

No it will not work.
