R6260 bridge mode

Hello all. I have a virgin superhub 3 which is good but i want to spread wifi signal evenly across house. I know i could buy range extenders but i have a 2nd wifi router. Can i use this in bridge mode...

    Bridge mode isn't repeater/extender mode. 
    It'd simply connect the R6260 to the primary router and let you use the ethernet ports. 

    You'd be better to hardwired in the r6260 and run it in ap (access point) mode.
