XR500 and or XR1000
Hello, im new here...I just upgraded my router to the netduma r3 from the XR1000 and I dont want my old router collecting dust... i was wondering if i could use my old XR500 or XR1000 as a wireless repeater or a wifi extender...is this possible? What would i need to make this work? I cannot connect the routers with cable...this would have to be a wireless setup.. thanks guys

They only support router or AP mode only.
so these were never meant to be a wireless option. Got it, so their is nothing i can do right?
They don't support extender or repeating features.
