No Internet on Second Router
I'm using an XR300 as my primary router and an R7000 as my secondary router. They're bridged together with a long ethernet cable so that I can extend my internet connection to a nearby building. I've...

Anyway, thanks for the insight and I think I'm all set at least for now.

RTFM?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number (R7000),
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.

you might need to lie to it a little to get it past its set-up wizard,
so that it'll let you do what you want with it.
