I would like to know if it by any means is possible to set up repeater mode so it has NAT, DHCP and firewall? I consider buying an RT-AC66U to extend the next door strong and reliable hotel wi-fi into my own private network in our holiday apartment:) From googling I seem to understand that this should be possible with DD-WRT but I would prefer Merlin as this is what I use at home on my RT-AX88U.
 
Might be other ways, but one sure way is to keep the router configured as a router (the default) and simply add a separate wireless ethernet bridge patched to the WAN port. This type of config is sometimes known as a WISP (wireless ISP) router.
 
Wireless Client mode is not supported by Asuswrt-Merlin.
