netgear R7000
I have two Netgear R7000.
I wanted to see if I could have set one R7000 as base unit ant the other R7000 as a repeater. I did it without conneecting to internet.
It worked fine, but discovered seting as repeter is no security.
So, I reset the R7000 base unit, all went well, the R7000 repeter unit is now stock.
I am not able to reset becouse the repeater unit keeps trying to reboot every few minutes, the unit never boots up in order to reset.
Even in this condition I tryed pressing the reset button, first 7 seconds, then 30 seconds then 30/30/30 30 reset 30 reset with power off then 30 seconds reset with power on

I am not able to reset because the repeater unit keeps trying to reboot every few minutes, the unit never boots up in order to reset.

Look at the Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Router mode option. Under here you may see Router, AP, Reapter or Bridge modes. If you don't see Repeater here, then the 7000 doesn't support Repeater mode.
Repeater worked perfectly, but I don't want to use it as a repeater. All I want is to reset to the factory setting.
