Rax35 Wireless Bridge Mode unavailable in web gui
Can't seem to find the bridge mode and I've looked everywhere. Updated to latest firmware also
same thing happened to me...
Hope this problem could be solved quickly
For my support ticket "I would like to inform you that, bridge mode is not available in Router(RAX35 )."
netgear, is this a joke? I bought this to replace a 10 year old $30 router that supports bridging. The tech sheet doesn't mention anything about bridging not being supported - presumable because all wifi routers support bridging and this is only being blocked in software. This thing is more like a wireless to wiired converter than a wifi router. Have to pay for a $200+ model to get bridging support is insane. Isn't the Nighthawk supposed to be your premium consumer router? And it can't even bridge? I guess netgear just got added to my list of brands to never buy from again. I'll be returning this.

You can't expect a data sheet to list everything that something cannot do. The answer is to check the manuals before you part with your money. Don't make assumptions.
A quick check of the manuals suggests that the RAX75, RAX80 and RAX120 support wireless bridge mode.
It is by no means true that all wifi routers support bridging. However, quite a few other Netgear routers also support this operation. You just picked one that does not.
If it isn't too late, take it back and get something else.
