Nighthawk R6700 - add access point
I have issues with WiFi signal strength in my daughters room. I have tried extending the signal with a AC1200 extender but it did not help. Her laptop will only handle the 2.4 range. I was wondering ...
You didn't specify your range extender's model. Most Netgear range extenders can be used as an Access Point, except for a few models.
All routers can be used can be used as an Access Point as well. The R6700 can be placed into AP Mode under ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP. Follow the onscreen instructions. They should be self-explanatory.
The extender model is Netgear EX6150. I would need the R6700 to be the router and EX6150 as the AP.
