I have a old Motorola SURFboard modem model SBG900 and i was wondering if i could use it as a wifi range extender?

You could use it as a AP using the lan port and ethernet cable to move it away from your main router. I am not sure I would though this is a old 802.11g router and it may also only support wep encryption so it is not a real useful device.

You could try dd-wrt but I don't think it is support on that device...
