According to the User Manual Nighthawk AC1750 Smart WiFi Router Model R6700v3, there is no configuration for Wireless Repeating Function available top operate as a WiFi base station with a repeater base. In my understanding, this does prohibit using the r6700v3 together with a repeater station.
According to the User Manual 802.11ac Wireless Access Point Model WAC104, the WAC104 can be configured as a Wireless Repeater Base Station (p.58) as a hub, and one or more WAC104 in a WiFi Repeater in spoke config (p.59). For one WAC104 plus n more WAC104, a repeater mode can be configured.
To extend any generic WiFi access point or router, have an eye into the WiFi Range Extenders & WiFi Mesh Range Extenders.
