Can the AC1750/R6400 be used as an extender?

The main router we have is out in the garage and my dads office is on the other side of the house about 125 feet away. We have an extender already in there, but it keeps dropping the signal. We already had the R6400 around, and now I am looking to put it as a midpoint extender between the main point and the extender in the office. Is it possible to use the R6400 as an extender?

  • Netgear routers do not really work as extenders.

    They can be used as Access Points, but that requires a wired connection to the router.
