How to connect as WDS from R6120 (as BASE) and WNR614 (as REPEATER)
I have two routers from netgear and I want to use my old netgear router model WNR614 as a Repeater, Currently I have bought R6120 and I want to make WDS (wireless distribution system) connection from R6120 to WNR614, I repeat my main router will be R6120 and repeater will be WNR614.
IS IT POSSIBLE? If "YES" then please share the process in details please , I badly need it.
Model: R6120|AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Router, WNR614|N300 Wireless Router

I wouldn't. reason why is you'd have to set security as WEP for both devices. And that'd set your speed down and be incredible unsecured.
A half decent wireless extender would be a much better option if it has to be wireless.
Otherwise, if you can hardwire in the wnr614, you could run it as an access point.
