Configure C6300 for Bridge mode to connect to AC791L Hotspot

Ok, so I have an AC791L hot spot and I want to give it more wireless range and connect ethernet devices to the C6300 and have the C6300 wirelessly connect to the AC791L...  I believe this is called a bridge...  WIll this work in this configuration?  And I've searched but all the owner's manual states is set bridge mode...  Well that doesn't work...  There must be more to it that I am not seeing...   A repeater might do the wireless stuff, but I need to be able to hook up ethernet cables to the C6300...

 

Pleae help!  I am not uing the C6300 s a router for cable internet it is stand alone... 

 

Any pointers to the config docs would be appreciated...

 

Thanks, M0

    Hello mo333

     

    I do not believe this will work because when you Bridge the C6300 it becomes a modem only and the router part is disabled so you would have anything plugged into the modem going directly to your internet connection.
