R6700V3 Wireless AP Issues
Okay, I'm at a loss. I have a Netgear R7800 with firmware 1.0.2.92 as a main router. I have this router connected through ethernet cable to the WAN port of a Netgear R6700V3 with firmware 1.0.4.128...

Is there a way to configure the R6700 to extend my WIFI connection/use it as a wireless AP or a wireless bridge?
Not that I can see from the manual. Only some Netgear routers offer a bridge/repeater mode.
When you put this into AP mode, did you start the network in the required order?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on AP and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
