EX6200, unlike EX6100, doesn't support LAN uplink!
I've just received delivery of an EX6200, expecting to connect it my existing router via wired Ethernet (LAN) connection i.e. as an access point. Apparently the EX6200 does not support this scenario...

Just tested your theory out and I wasn't able to create a simple wireless ap using the ex6200 on stock firmware.
The problem is that the ex6200 will redirect you as soon as you open a web browser to it's config page when it's disconnected from the main wireless signal that it's bridging, and dosen't let you do anything but reconnect or reconfigure.
I've now tried twice to creat a simple wireless ap out of the ex6200 on stock firmware and I haven't succeded.
I sent a request to Netgear support to implement an ap feature and they got back saying that they'd look into it.
