    Ok, then leave the R7000 as the main host router running router mode.

     

    The only way to use the DIR-628 aside from router mode is this: LAN to LAN AP mode

    You would place the 628 in a remote location on 2nd or 3rd floors. This will need be LAN wired from the main host router to the 628 at the remote location.
