N6020 as a repeater

I have a N6020 router.  Can I make this a extender/repeater?  If so, how do I do that.  Thank you.

    Seeing as how there isn't a N6020 router, maybe you mean R6020? 

    And if it is a R6020, then no, it doesn't have a repeater mode.

           But, if you can connect it to your main router using an Ethernet
        cable (or equivalent), then an R6020 can be configured as a wireless
        access point.

         

           Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
        and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
        Look for "Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point Only".
