Connecting R6850 to WiFi repeater

Model version R6850

Firmware V1.1.0.84_1.0.1

Can the AC2000 connect to a wireless WiFi repeater? I've found instructions on Netgear site regarding an advanced setting: Advanced Setup > Router/AP/Bridge/Repeating Mode but I do not have this option under Advanced Setup. Is there another option for this router?

    IF Bridge or Repeater modes are not seen then this router doesn't support those features.

      It has a VLAN/Bridge settings option but that does not look what I need. Only a check box for "Enable VLAN Tag". I'm not familiar with that but I doubt that's what I need. Thanks.
