You should be able to set up a Netgear AC1750 router as a "access point". I'm not sure if that is what you mean by a "booster" or not.
Can you let us know exactly what model number you have?

It's hard to give you specific info withoug knowing what you have. There should be a product number on the label where the serial number is.
Current AC1750 routers include the R6250, R6300v2, R6400, and the R6700. There is also the C6300 gateway. All have similar shapes.

There are a couple of different technologies here - repeaters, extenders, and access points. They work bit a differently. Most Netgear routers can act as access points, some can act as repeaters. I'm not aware of any that can act as an extender.
