Alas, No. An Orbi router cannot be connected to another Orbi system to function as a satellite.
Sucks.

There is a way to convert a RBR50 into an RBS50. its not using stock firmware and there's a chance you brick your device. (google is your friend in this)
Unsure about doing the same with an RBR20 though.
