Bridge mode How to create
Trying to bridge a second nighthawk to my main nighthawk router. In all of the setup guides I read not one mentioned when and where to plug second router to. Right now I have a cable connection fr...
A) Main router r6900v2
B) Bridge router r6700v3
If I understand bridging I will be connecting B to A in bridge mode??
Correct. with the A router already setup, just configure the B router in bridge mode for A routers SSID name and PW.
So how do I access B router? With my hard wire from A router? If so would I not access A routers setup?
I think I got it wireless right but how do I get to router B to setup? Cause Ive had B hard wired to A try to login goes to router A.
What am I missing? Thanks for the help!!

The term "bridge mode" is confusing because it means different things in different circumstances.
To find out how to achieve whatever it is you want to do, start with the manual.

Feed in your model numbers and check the documentation for your hardware.For the R6900v2 read the section Set Up a WiFi Bridge Between the Router and Another Device
I see no indication that the R6700v3 will work as a "wireless bridge" or repeater. It will, though, work as an access point wired to the first router.
