no Repeater mode? RAX49 routers (house-to-house wifi)
I'm a lucky man. Got two houses on a street located 500 feet apart. Been shooting a Wi-Fi beam from house #1 downhill to house #2 for many years now; just bought TWO Nighthawks to "upgrade" my system...

Wireless bridge (repeater) mode seems to be vanishing from Netgear's range. Maybe other brands too.
There are plenty of RAX models with repeater mode, including the RAX48 and RAX50, but not the RAX49 .
Instead of buying a router and then disabling most of its features, you could have bought a device designed to do what you want. Netgear has a whole range of repeaters.
