Yes you can.
Just set the R6400 in access point mode to prevent a double nat.
When you setup the wifi bands, just make sure to put the netgear on different channels for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz to prevent interference.

Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:

Check the section in the manual Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point (wired to the router) or Set Up the Router in Bridge Mode (with a wifi lino to the router).
You may have done that already. I can't tell from your messages.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
