I just upgraded to an AX6000 router and was wondering if I could use my old AC2600 as a Access point or a Range Extender?

@Rtempesta 

 

Hello, may I know the model number of the AC2600? Is it Archer A10?

 

Generally, yes, you can just connect it to the AX6000 with an ethernet cable to set it up as an Access Point:

Or you can try to change it into range extender mode:
