connecting a second wired router ASUS RT-AC68R
I use your gateway router/modem. I have a dead spot at one end of the house, and I have a Cat 5 cable from the gateway to a closet near the dead spot. I have tested the cable on a PC and it is good. I own an ASUS RT-AC68R and have googled how to set up a second router. I have logged into your gateway at 10.0.0.1, but I am hesitant to make changes. Do you have an article explaining what gateway setting changes I should make? I basically just want the ASUS to serve as a wired repeater. I know you sell xFi pods, but I would prefer not to spend $125 when I own the ASUS and have a cable. Thank you

Most Asus routers support 'Access Point' (AP) mode, which is basically a wired repeater.
Not sure how compatible Xfinity gateways are with 3rd party APs though.
Google is your friend here, but one interesting conversation about APs is here: Same SSID on router and Access Point?
