Setting up 2 routers with one as a repeater
Hello community, (sorry if you receive this post twice, it looked like my first one was posted not in the U.S) I've searched different threads, and have not come across anything for this, or I haven't found it.
I'm looking to use my R6100 w/latest f.w as my router which is connected to CMD31T Modem. And I want to use my R6200 w/latest f.w as a range extender. Can anyone advise me on what settings to use via Netgear Genie. Upstairs I want to connect an X-box One S using a port on the R6200 and looking for some tips. Also my modem cm300... should I upgrade that with one that has 16x4 channel bonding?

Downstairs KFireStick, and then I have 2-3 lasptops, 4 -6 mobile devices. I realize I'm lumping 2 questions in here. Please advise. Thanks!!

Do you want the R6200 to be a wifi repeater or a wired access point?
The manual describes how to do the latter:
>>>> R6200 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<<
See page 88.
Page 91 describes the repeater set up.

- Boondocksaint21AspirantThanks for the reply. I'm using my R6100 as my wireless router, and my R6200 as my wireless repeater.
Cheers!!- See page 91 in the manual.
