I want to use it as extender, How to setup WDS R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200

I have wifi dongle, it's jioFi.

I want to extend it's wifi range by using my netgear router as extender, How do I set up WDS on my netgear router ? 

model is 

R8000 — Nighthawk X6 AC3200

The R8000 doesn't have an extender mode. You could hardwire it in and use it as an access point.

@plemans Thank for replying, But I'm not getting you.

could you please elaborate more on "HardWire"?

and .. CM2000-> RAX200-> GS716v2-> EX8000

@plemans  really appreciate for your quick response 

however i can not connect ethernet cable to router

reason is - its a dongle which uses micro USB  cord (same as android phone charger)

I have this JIO wifi Dongle

The R8000 doesn't have an extender mode with the standard firmware. 

You could always look at installing 3rd party firmware that might have extender mode (like dd-wrt/myopenrouter) but you always take the chance of bricking the router.

@plemans  Can we Restore old firmware ? in case router breaks by newly installed firmware

[plemans]

You'd have to check whatever 3rd party firmware you try.

that's the risk you take if you choose to go that route. 

Or you could try selling the router and so you could buy an extender.
