How to set R6300v1 as a repeater from RX50

[Laurancehluo]

Hi everyone,

Sincerely seeking help from you all.

I'm upgrading my wifi router to RX50 for a bigger house, and would like to leverage my original R6300 as the repeater to extent my wifi signal coverage to the whole house rooms.

How can I manage the configurations of 2 routers, in terms of :-

a) how to set RX50 - keep as is, a normal router mode ? or need to change to AP ?

b) how to set R6300 - set as a repeater

Thanks in advanced and looking forward your great advice.

How big is this house? 

If you haven't bought the RAX50 yet, a better choice is to spend a little more and go with an actual mesh system. 

You can pickup a renewed RBK753 for around $200. Its a bit more expensive but will be faster, more stable, and much less of a headache versus cobbling together an RAX and a R6300 (that is slow anyway)

Thanks mate, for your reply.

The fact is RAX50 is on hand. May be another way out is, simply pickup a wifi extender, will anyway help, right ?

Try finding a EAX80 extender.
