Using Nighthawk XR500 as an extender

I searched and did not find any articles about this... or maybe I am not familiar with the correct terminology.

 

I am wanted to use my XR500 to receive a wifi signal from our main router and then re-broadcast it so that I can access wifi in the far reached of my house.  I have poured through the settings and do not see an option to do this.  Any help would be great!

the XR500 doesn't have an extender mode. 

You can hardwire it in via either ethernet, moca adapters, or powerline and use it as an access point
