R6100 as repeater

  Can I use my R6100 as a repeater or range extender with a different router provided by my ISP?

How do I connect it to my network to do that?

    I strongly recommend not using the R6100 as a repeater.  It has a big downside, which is that wireless security must be set to None.  If possible, connect the R6100 to the main router via Ethernet.  Otherwise, buy a range extender.
