Link Asus RP-AC1900 Network to Nighthawk C7000 AC1900
I have a Nighthawk AC1900 router/modem and am using an ASUS RP-AC1900 repeater. Am I able to have the ASUS repeater on the same network as the Nighthawk? ASUS support told me to contact Netgear....

All of Asus's documentation on that device for mesh function says "when used with a AiMesh router"......
Ah. It is a Mesh device. That wasn't clear. The first message just said "extender".
It is strange that Asus didn't say that when first asked.
Am I able to have the ASUS repeater on the same network as the Nighthawk? ASUS support told me to contact Netgear...Not a lot of help when talking about a proprietary system.
Looks like we have found another company with a less than helpful support service.
I already have the repeater set up with the current router, but the repeater has its own network. I want the repeater to not create its own network and just extend my router's network. The manual for the repeater is very vague and does not mention this or how to make the network private.
Do I need an Asus router to do this?

What is "its own network"? Do you mean wifi SSID?
If so, then you can change it. Again, that is something I would expect to find in the manual for the extender.
I would also expect the extender to use the same SSID as the router when you set it up.
First you may have to reset the extender to its factory settings.
- Even if the repeater has the same SSID as my router, it is duplicated to display two networks. I only want one network, not two.
The extender has a 3 page manual with no useful information.
