How do I add a Nighthawk R6700 v3 to an existing network and repeat existing SSID

I want to add an AC1750 R6700 v3 to a home with an existing cable provider router, and have it join an existing WiFi SSID to "repeat" the signal.  Setup asks for an SSID name.  Do I give it the existing one (I doubt it).  I want it to repeat existing Wifi, and NOT act as DHCP server (the other router will handle that).  Can this be done?  Thank you

Model: Dual Band

No this is not a mesh device you can, however, set it up in AP mode which will create a new wireless network.
