Which is supposed to be the repeater? R6300v2 or WGR614v10
To work as repeaters, both devices have to cooperate. Not all Netgear routers have the ability to work in "bridge mode".
The R6300v2 does offer bridge mode, but I see no sign in the manual for the WGR614v10 that it has that feature. Looks like it doesn't even have wireless access point (AP) mode, which would be one way round the problem.
In any case, the WGR614v10 is so old (2009), with wifi technology from that era, that it probably isn't worth the effort.

You're trying to connect a really old wireless G router to an old (ish) ac router.
That WGR614 that you have might have been released in 2009 but the V1 came out in 2003.
Its using very old technology and in repeater mode, the WGR is only going to support wep mode and will require setting that same mode (that only supports 54mbps connection) on the R6300.
Its a security risk and decreases your speeds significantly.
You'd be better to purchase a halfway new wireless extender. It'd be able to use the current security and wouldn't require dropping speeds or security just to be able to use it.
That router is going on 20 years old. Its time to retire it for something a little newer.
