When switching to Verizon FIOS, I retired my SMC router. Recently, I was complaining about the weak wireless signal to my HTPC which is on the other side of our condo. Suddenly, it made sense to use the SMC as an extender.
Simply, login to the extra routers menu and disable DHCP. Switch mode from Gateway to Repeater (Bridge with some models). Connect a client ethernet cable from your main router to the WAN port of your secondary one. You should be done!
