Compatible is a bit ambiguous. Yes, it is. And no, it is not.
The RBK352 can be connected to any brand of router using an ethernet cable to act as a separate WiFi system, either in router or Access point mode. This would result in two independent WiFi systems in the same building. Even if you gave both of them exactly the same name (SSID) and password, they will remain separate systems. Devices will connect to whichever unit has the strongest signal and will not roam to units on the other system.
But, no. The RBK352 satellites will not function as satellites on the RBK752 system. They have different backhaul radios and different modulation schemes. No way. No how. And, the RBR350 router cannot be attached as a satellite to any model of Orbi.
Assuming that the goal is to reuse some (or all) of the RBK352 by integrating it into the new RBK752 system, the answer is "no".
