R6120 Can this model be bridged
If so can you point me to some instructions?
Thanks.
If you mean can you use it as a wireless repeater in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) system, then, according to the manual, the answer appears to be no.
You can use the R6120 as a WiFi Access Point, wired back to a router.

Firmware version?

What, exactly, does "bridged" mean to you? What is the actual
problem which you are trying to solve?> If so can you point me to some instructions?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "bridge".
(Don't expect to find much.)Repeat for a different model: R7000. In its User Manual, look for
"Set Up the Router in Bridge Mode". If that describes what you want,
then I doubt that an R6120 can do it (unless its firmware is more
capable than its User Manual suggests).> btw, I want to bridge it to a belkin wireless router.
I wouldn't expect that to matter much, but "a belkin wireless router"
is not a very detailed description of anything.

Thank you all for your help.
