add rbr750 satellite to rbr850 router

Hi,

Can I add a rbr750 satellite to existing rbr850 router?

This Netgear web site states that a RBS750 ("S" for satellite) is compatible with the RBR850 router:

RBR750 is the product number for a "router", which cannot function as a satellite.  Some manufacturers designed their WiFi systems where units are identical and can take on either role.  Netgear did not.
