How to establish a bridge connection between two Nighthawk Mesh routers

Hello, I have recently purchased two sets of the Nighthawk Mesh Routers with Satelites. I will be placing one router in our adminisration building where there will be a access the the MediaCom Modem. I plan to set up the other router (bridge) in another buliding (85 ft) away and connect with a CAT6. I have no experience with setting up the secound router as a bridge. Can I please recieve some guidance into the step required to create the bridge. Thank you.

       "bridge" is a widely misunderstood/misused term.

       Actual model numbers would be more helpful.  Look for "Model" on the
    product label.

       Sounds as if you want to configure the remote router as a wireless
    access point.

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for a topic like "Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point".
