Configure as access point or repeater without cable
Hi,
I have Netgear R6220 AC1200 WiFi router.
I want to configure it as access point or repeater. But my main point is, I want to do it without connecting to primary router with LAN cable ...

In other words, you want it to be a repeater.
Access Point = Wired
You need to look for information on how to configure your device for WDS, Wireless Distribution System. It looks like your R6220 does not support WDS.
There is a manual for the R6220 somewhere at the end of this link:
>>> R6220 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<
An alternative approach would be to use the thing as an access point, with a powerline ethernet connection between the router and the R6220.
Hi,
In that case can I make it wireless repeater?
I mean without using cable, can i extend my wifi range making this as repeater?
Regards,
Mahesh

No. That was the whole point of my answer.
Thanks Sir :-)
