I have a spark hg630b and would like to use it as a repeater.

If this is possible, does anyone have simple to follow instructions on how to set this up?

Thanks

Quite a few threads on this topic already but I would advise against it and get a proper wireless AP extender something that is built for the job

No it can't function as a repeater.

My advice is also that if you can't explain why a repeater is the worst device ever created then you should not be using one. A cabled access point (which the 630b can function as) is always the best option.
