Yes, it is possible to use a Netgear router as a wireless range extender. This can be useful if you have a big house or office and you need to extend the range of your wireless network to reach all areas.
To use a Netgear router as an extender, you will need to follow these steps:
Connect your Netgear routerto your computer using an ethernet cable and login to the router login page.
Go to to wireless settings and change the Wireless network name(SSID) and password to match the primary router.
Go to the LAN setting and change the IP address of the router to an address that is within the same range as the primary router, Bit outside its DHCP range.
Disable the DHCP server on the network router.
Go to the wireless setting and enable the wireless repeating function. this function called "Wireless Repeater" or "Wireless range extender" depending on the router model.
Select the network you want to extend and enter the password.
Save the settings and restart the router.
Once the router restarts, it will act as a Netgear wireless range extender and boost the signal of your primary router, providing coverage in areas that were previously out of range.
