Can’t enable “wireless repeater function”
I try to enable the “wireless repeating function” mode but I look through the instructions, and I don’t have the mode “router/AP/bridge/repeating mode”. The modes I have in advanced setup are advanced...

The manual for your router is available from the Downloads section at the top of this page. Feed in your model number.
A quick review indicated the wireless repeater function is not a feature of your model. There is no way to "add" a feature to a router.
I meant like how to enable it but I must’ve written “add” instead

As Kitsap says, the R6260 does not support wireless repeater mode.
You can use it as a wireless access point wired to your router.
