Extend WIFI range with two routers

Extend WIFI range with two routers

First off, I'm a total amateur when it comes to routers, internet connections and everything in that category. I just bought a Nighthawk AC 1900 because the range with my old AC1200 Smart Wifi-Router (R6220) didn't reach two of the rooms at my new place. With the Nighthawk, I have wifi in all my rooms, but the signals are really weak in the two rooms I mentioned. I've been watching some videos on Youtube and saw that connecting two routers through ethernet cable isone option to extend the wifi range. I haven't been successful in finding any videos for Netgear routers tho.. Does anyone know how to do it or if it's possible at all? Would really appreaciate any help!

Use the "Enable Access Point Mode" setting. It's under Advanced settings. Follow the on-screen instructions.
