How to turn on bridge mode in C7100V

I just got an Eero system and it says I should but the Netgear unit in bridge mode. Looking for how to do that on my Netgear box says to go to advanced tab and advanced set up and change the NAT setting ... but the NAT setting isn't there. Eero is basically working all right but I'm having trouble installing a new printer and with an old Sonos system. I would appreciate the help; it's been a frustrating night tech-wise!

       "common" and "specific" are spelled differently for a reason.

       Still too vague to be helpful.

       I'd say that the actual problem to be solved might be the provision
    of a usable DHCP server to the WAP clients.  Whether the WAP itself
    should be that server is a different question.

       Probably.  (Do you wonder why?)  How much time did you save this way,
    do you think?

       Not here, you're not.  You might try a more relevant forum:
