WN3000RP compatible with extending a TPLINK Archer vr1600v router?

Can anyone confirm if my Netgear WN3000RP V1H2 wifi extender will work with a TPLINK vr1600v Archer wifi router so I can get better wifi signal around our house? I know it's not latest but have these from using successfully in the past and using new ISP who provides these routers with solution

    Manuals are always a good place to start.

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.

    Check the section in the manual Use the Smart Wizard to Set Up the Extender
    .

    You'll have to check the TP-Link manual to see if that is compatible and for how to set it up with a repeater/extender.

    Too right about the age of the Netgear device , it dates back to 2012.

     

    As to the rest of that bit, sorry but I don't follow what you mean by "using new ISP who provides these routers with solution".

     

    If the WN3000RP worked with something else, then just follow the setup process for the older router.
