Turn Nighawk router to Extender mode

[Kadencnc]

Im going to buy a raxe300 to replace my old rax70,
Wonder how to turn my rax70 to extender mode? So I dun need to throw it in the bin. Can any one help please. I been checking on user manual while i can only see either bridge mode or access point mode dont know if one of these is extender mode. Again, please help

It doesn't have an extender mode. 

You can hardwire it in and use it in access point mode. 

Would work great for that if you have an ethernet run to connect it to

thanks for your reply @plemans .

i think i found the solution from here

i think bridge mode is what works like an extender?!

[plemans]

Close but not quite. Bridge mode doesn't repeat the signal for other devices to connect to. 

Its a wireless bridge between router--router

@plemans  thanks again,

Nope. Only AP Mode (requiring a network cable to the primary router LAN) or BBridge mode (making it possible to assign the router as an Wi-Fi connected Ethernet port.
