Thanks for the reply.. It helps if you plug the network cable into a LAN port and not the WAN... So i'm in configuration now.

Do you know if an R7000 supports repeater mode? If so, where do I find it? This community article says repeater mode does NOT exist..
I'm so confused..

The manual explains how to do it, but this feature may have been removed in later firmware.
AP mode may still be there, but to get bridge/repeater mode you may have to revert to an older firmware from before when they removed this feature. That might reduce the device's security, but you lose many features in anything but router mode and your existing router may provide enough protection for your needs.
