How to use Netgear AC1200 R6120 Router as Repeater without ethernet cable?
Hi Guys,
I recently bought Netgear AC1200 R6120 dual band router and want to use it as a range extender/repeater , has somebody done this? I have searched everywhere and was not able to find any solution. I do not have ADVANCED > Wireless Repeating Function in my advanced setup. I only see make router as Access point with wired connection. Is there a way to do it as repeater/range extender with wired connection?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Huh? Do you want a wired or wireless connection to the
repeater/range-extender/access-point? As its User Manual suggests, a
wired connection to an R6120-as-wireless-access-point may be all you can
do with an R6120.antinode I wanted wireless connection. So you mean its not possible to do this, Is it?

I don't see how. Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in "R7000"
as the model number, and look for Documentation. Get its User Manual.
Look for "repeater" there. Compare with the R6120 User Manual.
