Using a 6250 smart WiFi router as extender with RAX120

        I was going to use a Wifi Extender with my new RAX120, but the one Netgear offers for this unit is cost prohibitive. I only am interested in getting decent wifi to the dining room, and out to the cars in the drive way. Can I use the 6250 as an extender for the lesser AC1900 to those areas?...

R6250?

 

Wired to RAX120 as an access point?

 

As a wireless bridge?

 

If you visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

you can feed in the model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

Helps to know what we are talking about.

 

EX6250 would be a better idea, but I assumed that @AJGCJG had an R6250 lying around.

 

Just a guess on my part.

    It's simply R2650. I'm sorry I missed the R.

yeah the R or EX was kind of important. 

The R6250 doesn't have extender/repeater mode. Its a router that has access point/bridge mode. 

The EX6250 is an extender and has an access point mode as well. 

Sorry for the confusion.
