    I'm pretty sure the R6220 does not support WDS.  Even if it did, you wouldn't want to use it because WDS support on Netgear routers is very poor.

     

    It looks like you can set the WAN Medium Type to wireless on the Tenda.  This will allow you to connect to the R6220's Wi-Fi network.  The only downside is that the Tenda will behave as a router, not as a bridge.  Unless you can disable the firewall/NAT functions on the Tenda, devices connected to the R6220 won't be able to communicate with devices connected to the Tenda.
