RT-AC66U with Merlin Firmware: wireless extender is it possible?

[Nicola]

Hello

I have an RT-AC66U and I would like to convert him into a wireless extender. But if I use this configuration, the device creates a second "wifi-net" instead of amplifying the main one. I would like to know if I can amplify the main net installing the Asus Merlin firmware. Is this configuration possible?
The main wifi-net is created with an RT-AC88U.
thank you in advance.

The RT-AC66U does offer Repeater mode.

I suggest that it is wired instead and used as an AP for best WiFi performance though (Repeater mode will cut your throughput in half, or less).

i've done what you said...
The signal is much better and the band is no more reduced.
My smartphone switchs wi-fi line when i change floor in my home...and sincerely I didn't expect it......
