It possible that it may work then again, may not due to the processing and lower wireless performances when using extender or repeater modes and with the processing involved. Any chance you can use the R7000 as a LAN to LAN wireless AP? Would be best if you could connect this way or if the TV has a LAN port in back, use the LAN port for best wired performances. 

 

Check the R7000 UI for modes of operation. There maybe AP, Repeater or Extender modes listed.
