Q: Extend Airport Extreme network with Netgear N600
I would like to use a N600 to extend my Airport Extreme network.
I want to connect the N600 via ethernet to the airport extreme and it should act as a switch (I want to connect the TV/PS4/Wii in the living room via ethernet connection) and it should also extend the existing wifi connection created by the Airport Extreme (that's located to another room).
How should I proceed?
OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

With the Netgear N600 connected to the AirPort Extreme base station by Ethernet, you want to configure them both for a roaming type network.
The N600 should be reconfigured as a bridge and its wireless network configured to use the same network name (aka, SSID) and wireless security type & password that is used by the Extreme.
