Since it cannot operate as a "satellite" on the 750 system, it will appear in the list of Attached Devices as a device. Perhaps if you go through the entire list, there will be one device that you do not recognize?

Another tactic is to look at the product label on the bottom of the RBS50Y and record the WiFi MAC address.*
If that MAC address appears in the table of Attached Devices, you have found it.

Finally got off support with Netgear and they confirmed it is defective so I am not nuts. I could not see the MAC address which was what my original issue was-it was not there. Replacement!!!

Since the garage door and camera are now working correctly, perhaps the satellite was not needed?
Do those devices show up in the Attached Device list?
