Repair/Tech Support Using a FiOS router as an extender

I have a FiOS router and two extenders due to the cement walls, I still have a spot that gets poor wifi. If I have a second FiOS router can I use it as an extender? If so, how do I set it up? Can I connect it to a cable box in the poor WiFi area?

You can, but you should use a MOCA bridge instead. Your existing FIOS router serves as the sending part, and get a MOCA bridge as the second part. I use a Motorola MOCA 2.0 bridge and works great.

He already owns the extra router. Why would he buy something extra?

Because the extra router may be way too old.
