The Alfa AC1200R can be easy configured as WISP
(Wireless-Internet-Service-Provider)
from Setup Wizard, this way it acts as a Router with its own DHCP Range.
(Devices
connected to AC1200R cannot communicate with other devices connected to main
Router)
When it comes to set it as Wi-Fi Repeater
(also called Wireless Bridge / Wireless
Extender)
in same LAN Network as the main Router, it is a bit more complicated.
Match several Routers to the same LAN Network may be very useful for
communication between computers or Surveillance Camera systems.

Repeat/Bridge/Extend the 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz Network
(if main Router supports 5Ghz)
