Extend Wifi from R6400 to WNR2000
Hi! I need some help with extending/repeating my wifi-signal to my basement for my beer brewing hardware inside an refrigerator. I have two Netgear routers: one new R6400 (V1,I think) and one older: ...
Netgear routers can't operate as wireless expanders - neither in a bridge mode with a dedicated uplink nor as a expander with both radio interfaces.
The only option is a cable and re-configure the WNR2000v2 as a wireless access point -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/Wireless-N-Routers/Using-a-WNR2000v2-as-Access-Point/td-p/1083397
One follow up question: I have a spare Apple Airport Express at home, can I make this unit work as an extender for Netgears routers instead of my old router?

As above - the AE can either act as a NAT router, or configured as a wireless access point (LAN connected) only.
- But can it be used as an extender for other routers than Apple? If I just were to use it to extend the signal to the basement.
Thank you for your help!
