R8000P as base station for repeater (R6200v2)
Hoping to get some help as I the kb instructions don't match what I'm seeing when i log in to my R8000P (and I'm kinda new at this):
I have an R8000P (Firmware Version V1.4.1.50_1.3.10) as my router which replaced my R6200v2. Now I want to use the R6200v2 as a repeater for the R8000P to basically make my ring door bell work when it's mounted outside (works inside just fine).
Anyways I'm following the insutrcitons here: https://kb.netgear.com/24108/How-do-I-enable-the-extender-mode-feature-on-my-Nighthawk-router
BUT I don't see an option for what it says in step 8 :
7. Select Advanced Setup > Router/AP/Bridge/Repeating Mode.
8. Select Enable Wireless Repeating Function for the 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi band
I did set the security to none (WEP wasn't an option on).
Would appreciate any insight, thanks.

Yea I came across that, but I can't find where to set up the R8000P as the base station or enter the MAC address of the Repeater (R6200v2). What is in the R8000P driections doesn't seem to match up.
