Can you try changing out of AUTO to a fixed channel?

The WIFI channels are set to AUTO.
And I'm using the routers own network map through www.routerlogin.net. Since both both routers are netgear they use that and I can logon to them one at a time on the dedicated networks (when not birdged that is)

I've set th 2,4 ghz to channel 7 and the 5 ghz to channel 44 on both routers
I've chosen the 2,4 ghz network for the bridge as I'm using the 5 ghz for many other devices
Both routers are set to Europe as Region as I'm based in Copenhagen, Denmark

It have done the trick since the R6250 now is showing on my network map!
I'll have to check printing for tomorrow though to see if it finally is working. if it works I assume it was a channel setting that needed alignment?

It has however kicked of my Apple Airport Express for some reason? Perhaps that was connected to another port?

Glad to hear that you got the R6250 working. Yes, the C6250 was probably operating on a channel that was not compatible with the R6250.
How is your Airport Express connected to the network? It, too, may need to operate on a certain set of channels. You may have to experiment and find a channel that works for both the R6250 and Airport Express.
