No.
You need to install DD-WRT which can only be installed on a regular router. Once you install DD-WRT follow these instructions: https://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/747884-How-to-use-an-Optimum-WiFi-hot-spot-with-multiple-computers

I have the Netgear R6700, which works well.
You can check here for a list of compatible routers:
(Just make sure that the one you buy supports 5 GHZ, since optimum stopped 2.4 GHZ).

Trying to use a linksys extender to extend optimum wifi. I added the extenders mac address to an optimum account. It's not connecting to optimum when setting it up. There is an option to manually enter a static ip. Any ideas?

I don't believe anyone got it to work this way.
