Wireless Bridge to WiFi
I've set up my router as a wireless bridge to another. This allows me to use the connection of the parent router via the ethernet of the one in bridged mode. Is there a way to turn on the other WiFi radios to instead be able to communicate via the bridge to the parent router over WiFi?
The gentleman here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/R6000-Series-AC-WiFi-Routers/R6400-as-Wireless-Repeater-to-a-Distant-Access-Point/m-p/1139268 was looking for the same thing but he was directed to bridge mode which is only the first half of the problem.
Thanks

Sounds like you may be descrbing AP mode? base router<<--ethernet>>>R6400. Is this what you are describing?
Thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunatly I'm not able to get a wired connection to the orgin. I was looking for a way to go base <- wifi -> r6400 <- wifi -> devices.
