I recently upgraded to a BE9300 (new router) since we were adding more devices and the Archer72 Pro/AXE5400 (old router) seemed to be getting a little weak.  Everything seems to be doing better now except for one security camera I have mounted on a pole in the backyard.  I tried a Tidaair outdoor wifi extender and it died within a month.  In addition, it, as well as all my other extenders showed to be connected but with no internet access.  I have never seen that before.

 

Anyway, I have been reading articles about using old routers as repeaters to extend wifi metworks.  Both the new router and the old router show to be Easy Mesh compatible.  Can I configure the old router to act as a repeater, and if so, how?

  @RichardinTexas If they are both truly Easy Mesh capable, turn on Easy Mesh on the new router.  Do a Factory reset on the old one and run the setup routine and make it an Easy Mesh satellite.
