NETGEAR R7000-100NAR Nighthawk AC1900 as WIFI Extender or Repeater

Can the NETGEAR R7000-100NAR Nighthawk AC1900 router be configured as a WIFI extender?  I could not find any information on line.  I have a NETGEAR Unite Explore AC815S as my WIFI hotspot, but  need to extend the range of the AC815S.

    I think the R7000 has Repeater mode, unless NG removed it from there recent FW versions. 
    I know it has Wireless Bridge mode. 

     

    If you don't see Repeater mode under Advanced Tab/Advanced/Router Modes then it's no longer supported.
