Anyone know if this router can be used as an extender?

it has an access point mode

I have an ac 1800 I just retired for a WRT3200ACM

That’s because the average consumer doesn’t care about port speed. The people who do care wouldn’t be considering this router at all anyway.

they are gigabit. I have an ac1800

I would love to know the performance of this. I have an old Netgear N600 router acting as an wireless access point only. I would love to replace it with this Belkin if wireless range and speeds are able to keep up with 100+ Mbps down speeds.

I was getting well over 340 Mbps when connected to an arris 6190

I would bet tons of units get low ratings due to lack of general knowledge. It also seems that a lot need to be reset often. Most consumer models skimp on memory and features. I’d recommend doing your research but even a junk router is probably with 20 bucks.

the prob came down to how many connected devices. it doesn’t like more then 10. after app 3 years I got constant drops and had to reboot. got a WRT3200ACM and a replacement. I have the AC1800. the 1200’s bigger brother

This might suffice as a back-up router to have on-hand in case the main router ever craps-out. I could keep it with the bottled water and other essential survival supplies in the basement.
