There is no Wireless Repeater functionality according to the R6350 Documentation (Data Sheet, User Manual).
&nbsp;
This feature is a relict of the past, and often required very similar wireless hardware on both ends. What configuration do you had in mind?&nbsp;

I wanted to use this as a range extender. I have a wifi router but its range is very less in my room. I wanted to extended its range using this router so I would get better signals in my room

This implies the connection from the primary router to the access point requires a network cable installation. However, this is one of the best investments ever!
