&nbsp;Can I use my R6100 as a repeater or range extender with a different router provided by my ISP?&nbsp;

Hello Kdhasproblems

Yes it should be able to repeat any wireless signal.

I strongly recommend not using the R6100 as a repeater. &nbsp;It has a big downside, which is that wireless security must be set to None. &nbsp;If possible, connect the R6100 to the main router via Ethernet. &nbsp;Otherwise, buy a range extender.
