RAX20 - unable to setup router as wireless repeater

I bought an RAX20 AX1800  Wifi-6 router. I am unable to configure the router as a wifi repeater. I have an existing WiFi router and want to extend it wirelessly using this router. However, the only setting I could find was for the 'Wireless AP mode' which requires connecting a LAN cable.

 

I would really appreciate any help.

Re: RAX20 - unable to setup router as wireless repeater

You're correct. It doesn't have a wireless repeater mode.

No where in its specifications does it advertise as such. 

 

You could look into returning it and getting a wireless extender or you could look at finding a way to hardwire it in and use it as an access point
