I want to use it as extender, How to setup WDS R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200
I have wifi dongle, it's jioFi. I want to extend it's wifi range by using my netgear router as extender, How do I set up WDS on my netgear router ? model is R8000 — Nighthawk X6 AC3200
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.
plemans really appreciate for your quick response
however i can not connect ethernet cable to router
reason is - its a dongle which uses micro USB cord (same as android phone charger)
I have this JIO wifi DongleThe R8000 doesn't have an extender mode with the standard firmware.
You could always look at installing 3rd party firmware that might have extender mode (like dd-wrt/myopenrouter) but you always take the chance of bricking the router.
