add rbr750 satellite to rbr850 router
Hi,
Can I add a rbr750 satellite to existing rbr850 router?
This Netgear web site states that a RBS750 ("S" for satellite) is compatible with the RBR850 router:

RBR750 is the product number for a "router", which cannot function as a satellite. Some manufacturers designed their WiFi systems where units are identical and can take on either role. Netgear did not.
