Is it possible to add an extra RBR850 as a satellite in my existing network?

Hi all,

I've a RBR850 router with 4 satellites (RBS850). No DNS issues after the last FW update and I'm really happy with my system and performance. Yesterdag I bought a second hand router and satellite extra just for the satellite. I can sell the router but is it possible to add the router as a satellite? If so then I can add this too. In my garden the reception is poor so it can be used.

    You can use it in AP mode as a separate wifi signal or keep it as a back up JIC something happens to the other RBR.
