The R8000 doesn't have an extender mode. You could hardwire it in and use it as an access point.

could you please elaborate more on "HardWire"?----In access point mode, the R8000 needs to be connected back to the primary router using a hardline. Meaning ethernet. That could be done using just an ethernet cable, using a powerline connection, or even using moca adapters (ethernet over coax).and .. CM2000-> RAX200-> GS716v2-> EX8000
What are thsese numbers ? are these model numbers of routers ?----Its my signature with my current setup I'm using.
