    Does that mean that you want to use the R6700 to repeat the wifi from another router? (That's "bridge" mode.)

     

    Or do you want to plug into another router to use the R6700 as a wifi source. (That's wireless access point mode.)

     

    Both should work.

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Check the sections in the manual Set Up the Router in Bridge Mode and Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point.
