Several Questions..
Basically I have this issue where my signal for gaming is weak because our family modem is a floor below me. So I've been looking into finding anything that'll make that signal stronger: i.e. an ext...
- That’s exactly what it was, schumaku. I had my ethernet plugged into the LAN the entire time. Plugged it into one of the ethernet ports and viola! Worked like a charm. Thanks for that, now I know for sure how bridge mode works in the future.
Speaking of future, I’ll be moving pretty soon. I’ll probably be switching ISPs, which would probably require that I’ll need to edit my bridge settings towards a newer router. How would I go about taking it out of bridge mode if that’s the case?

Probably the most easy way is to do a factory reset, and re-configure your R6900P from scratch into the mode desired (router, wireless bridge, or wireless access point [wired]).
Isn't Netgear firmware wonderful?
Should not require setting after an update, IMHO.

No, with all due respect, before ranting think about the fact how a router configured to a wireless bridge does operate. It will try to fetch an IP config by DHCP on the wireless bridge interface, if there is nothing, it will fall back to the some default LAN IP. Of course you can explain the uses on how to temporary configure an Ethernet interface to the same subnet as the default LAN IP, and then access using that default LAN IP. In this time, you can factory reset 10 routers, and reconfigure to whatever mode you want from scratch.
Go and manage your beloved UniFi without the crappy stick or a VM - on moving one or some devices to another location - how would you do that? Here again, tghe easies way is a factory reset, so the new on-site controller can discover and pick up. And pray that all the firmware is current, otherwise good luck.
