None of our home routers supports such feature.
I'm not sure if 3rd-party firmware will help.

When the router is set on bridge, it's normal that you will no longer be able to access it through routerlogin.net.
You will need assign a static IP address by selecting "Use Fixed IP Address". Make sure that the IP address that you will assign should be in the same range of the main router.

Ok, because i had access to the page routerlogin.net a little time like 45s in bridge mode, it's why ithink it was possible to go on it.
i try what you propose, but it's don't work. Maybe because i'm not configuring the bridge mode correctly, i'm not a pro :/
I tried with the ip adress shown on my phone when he is connected to the main router for static IP.- ElaineMJan 24, 2017NETGEAR Employee Retired
Just follow the steps on how to set it as bridge and do not forget to select "Use Fixed IP Address".
Once done, you should be able to access it through that IP address that you have just assigned.
Let us know any update.

Yes i did, but now windows say: "Unidentified Network" when i'm connected with ethernet on the router in bridge mode.
Maybe because i don't write the right SSID ?
