BE17000 as a bridge

Hello:

 

I am trying to use the BE17000 as a bridge.  I want to take in tri-band wireless signals from another BE router and break them back out to cables.  Does anyone have an idea on how to do this.  I have tried and failed.  Everything I find even on here talks about pages my firmware (V1.0.5.22) does not have.  The only page that I have talking about a bridge is ADVANCED>Advanced Setup>VLAN/Bridge Settings.  I have the Bridge group defined but I can't figure out what to do next.  

 

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.  

 

Thanks in advance

      Bridge mode has been around up to the RAX and RAXE series, However is not supported on the RS series. I asked about it.

    Netgear removed the bridge feature from its routers long time back.
