Can the Netgear R7350 serve as an access point on stock firmware?

[davidm71]

Hi,

Picked up a Netgear R7350 AC2400 Router on sale and want to use it to extend the wireless network in the office. We already have a Cisco router in the basement but its wifi signal is way too weak so want to hook the AC2400 and turn off the DHCP server on it and hook it up to an ethernet port to broadcast a new wifi signal. Is this possible on stock firmware??

Doesn't seem to be DDWRT support so may return it if I can't use it that way.


Thanks

Thanks will do. Someone on Netgear forums suggested the same thing and stated it should work in that manner. If only there was DDWRT support. Thanks.
