WIll Orbi Outdoor WiFi Range Extender (RBS50Y) work with R700 Nighthawk

Looks to see if the WIll Orbi Outdoor WiFi Range Extender (RBS50Y) work with R700 Nighthawk is compatible with my R7000/AC1900 Nighthawk router to allow me to extend wifi coverage into my backyard?

In Extender mode it is. 

It orbi mode it isn't. 

Luckily it can switch between those 2 modes.
