Using a 6250 smart WiFi router as extender with RAX120

[AJGCJG]

        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?...

yes you can.

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.

provided you meant the EX6250

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.

          Thank You...

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.
