How I can setup a Wi-Fi router as a repeater?
Hello, Dear Community...I am trying to setup my Wi-Fi router as a repeater but not able to set it up. I am using Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router Model R7000 and followed the instructions as given on the manual guide but things are not working for me. How I can setup my current router as a repeater... Any suggestion will be truly appreciated.

Repeater mode has been removed long time ago and is no longer possible on stock firmware. The manual is outdated
PS: repeaters cut down bandwidth in half due to constant need to stay connected with the main router.
What you can do is use powerline adapters and set the R7000 in AP (Access Point) mode.
