Can you use the Netgear Nighthawk as a separate range extender?

Question

Hi, I recently snagged a Netgear nighthawk to replace the Linksys Node that I have been using as a Wi-Fi extender. Since the Nighthawk is primarily a router, is it possible to use it as an extender that doesn’t have to be connected via Ethernet to your main router? I’m trying to have it set up as an Ethernet connection to my PC that is on another floor. Thanks.

There's no repeater mode in NG routers, only AP which requires a cable

What netgear router do you have?&nbsp;
A couple older versions had extender mode but nothing recent.&nbsp;
