It looks like the network can see the router as a satellite.
Or is it still a router that I have tried to set up as a satellite, which won't work?

Could you please open the web interface and look at the Attached Devices page? Does this device appear at the top of the page with the other satellites?
How was the RBR setup as a satellite? Did you configure AP mode?
Again, the RBR750 is not supported in RBS mode. Only in router or AP mode.
