WNR2000v3 Wireless Router as wireless repeater

I want to use my old N300 Wireless router as a wireless repeater off of my Spectrum internet modem. How can I do this and will this leave my router unsecured because I have to disable the security mode to activate repeater mode. Thx.

  • Yes, you have to disable security. Don't bother. If you must, get a real range extender but a wired solution (Ethernet or Coax) will be much better.
