How can i utilize 2 of my netgear routers for dead area?

[Pi3r4T]

Hi I have two routers. Netgear R6220 and Jwnr2010.
I've been using r6220 for some time and theres a dead area in my home. Currently i have jwnr2010 at my disposal and i want to use it as an extender for dead area. R6220 will be my main and Jwnr as secondary one. How can i make it work?

This depends on both devices.

There are two possibilities:

• get the jwnr2010 to connect to the wifi from the R6220 and work as a repeater
• wire the two together and use the jwnr2010 as a wireless access point

Get the manual for the jwnr2010 and read the section Wireless Distribution System.

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

Unfortunately, the jwnr2010 does not claim to support wifeless access point mode.

The R6220 doesn't support repeaters, so that may not work either.

Sometimes there are "hacks" that people have worked out. so a web search might help.
