Can I configure this unit as my primary router and use my AirPort Extreme (5th gen) as a repeater?
Hi - now that most of my devices have ac capabilities, and having heard good things about this router, I'm hoping that someone (more network savvy than myself) could help me in determining if I could use this router with my "old" (5th generation AirPort Extreme) used as repeader? I live in an apartment complex on the ground floor and would like to both boost my WiFi strength in the apartment (for a wireless connection to my TV) and to be able to receive a signal for those times when I take my notebook or tablet outside (no more than 30 feet away from my unit to the deck outside).
I don't know that I'm explaining this very well, but... Netgear in den, hard wired to a couple of devices and AirPort Extreme in bedroom to boost signal to wireless TV in bedroom and, some 30 feet away, the communal giant deck.
Do-able? Any other suggestions.
