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.
If you're willing to gamble and don't need the R6260 if it doesn't have extender mode, openwrt has extender/repeater mode.
Its 3rd party firmware so you won't find support for it on here and it voids your warranty. Just be aware of that. And you can brick your router installing it. but if you have no other use for it, might be worth a shot.
