R6250 Bridge Mode - Can't access UI

Attempting to set up my R6250 as a bridge. After following the manual and going through the steps, the UI is inaccessible after the reboot and there's no internet connection. The R6250 also doesn't show up on the Verizon router's devices list. 

 

I have a Verizon router downstairs, the signal isn't great upstairs so I wanted to set up my R6250 to connect to the Verizon router and provide ethernet connection to my PC. 

 

 

**edit**

 

Just tried using 2.4Ghz to connect to the Verizon router, that seems to work but very slow. Using 5Ghz doesn't work at all.

  • BE aware that Bridge mode on this router is a wireless client mode that has to be configured to connect to a host wifi SSID name and the password used for that SSID.
