Router Repeater

[kobeee]

Right now I am using a tp link archer C5 as my main router. I am trying to use my old netgear router as a wifi repeater. I'm trying to do it through WDS but there's no option. There is a repeater option that I see in the settings. I'm trying to connect my main router to my netgear wirelessly as a wifi extender. I tried setting it up but it did not work. Can someone help me out? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Can someone walk me through step by step with a list of instructions? Thanks.

Is this using a wifi-to-wifi link between the C5 and the DGND3300?

If the idea is to extend the wifi range, you might do better using it as an access point.

From what I have tread here, not all routers can act as wifi repeaters.

I'm trying to connect both of the routers wirelessly. How do I make the netgear an access point? I know my netgear can act as a repeater because I see the option in settings in routerlogin. I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly tho.

Did you check the manual for references to "repeater"?
