Can RAX40 be configured in bridge/extender mode?

Can the RAX40, or other models in the Nighthawk series, be configured either as router or as a bridge/extender?  I purchased a RAX40 on that assumption, but there is no bridge option in the Advanced Settings menu.

 

I am aware that there are specialized Extender models.  However, I thought I was buying something I could use in either configuration.  Perhaps that was a mistake.

    The best way to find out is to get the manual for whichever router you want to use.

     

    If you visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    you can feed in the model number and find all the documentation for the hardware.
