How does one setup a R7200 as a wireless wifi extender?
I have two R7200 routers and am using one as my primary router. I want to use the second one as wireless wifi extender. Any suggestions?

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Read the section in the manual Set up the router in bridge mode.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.fyi, bridge mode isn't repeater or extender mode. It won't rebroadcast the signal.
The R7200 doesn't have extender or repeater mode that I'm aware of.
What is bridge mode and how do I set it up on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
