: R6300 v2 repeater setup WGR614v10
I am trying to set up 2nd router as repeater of 1st above both use same ssid 2nd will be wireless however repeater doesn’t allow same security mode i also turned off internet on repeat...
Which is supposed to be the repeater? R6300v2 or WGR614v10
To work as repeaters, both devices have to cooperate. Not all Netgear routers have the ability to work in "bridge mode".
The R6300v2 does offer bridge mode, but I see no sign in the manual for the WGR614v10 that it has that feature. Looks like it doesn't even have wireless access point (AP) mode, which would be one way round the problem.
In any case, the WGR614v10 is so old (2009), with wifi technology from that era, that it probably isn't worth the effort.

Thanks, I was concerned about these issues altho less so the speed
security yes
i have a “less old” asus and with a bit of effort got that working as repeater
when a killer deal crops up, I should modernize
thanks
