Good thinking WHOA, but check that this unnamed range extender supports this setup.
I have seen reports here of range extenders not having the same "parental control" features on many routers.
Might help if we knew the model of the range extender.
There is a manual for the R6200v2 somewhere at the end of this link:
>>>> R6200v2 | WiFi Router | NETGEAR Support <<<<
It is an AC1200 Range Extender.
More precisely, it is a Model EX6200 AC1200 Range Extender
