RBR50 and the Netgear AC750 Extender... Will they work together?

Before I got my Orbi (RBR50) I was using a Netgear AC750 and I would like to use it in one spot rather than forking over a hundred+ dollars to buy another satellite. I tried to set it up but it doesn't seem to be working and I am wondering if it is operator error or is it not working because they can't work together? 

 

I am using a Mac running High Sierra. My Orbi has been updated to the latest firmware (that I am aware of-V2.0.0.76.. Thank you for your help! Judy

    The AC750 cannot connect to the the backhaul of the Orbi.  It can only possibly connect as a extender of the primary Orbi networks, thereby defeating the purpose of having an Orbi system.
