Bridging Netgear AX8 AX6000 to AC 1900 C7000 router
Have a Netgear AX80 AX6000 Model CAX80 modem router as my main router. I want to bridge my old Netgear AC1900 Model C7000 modem router wirelessly. I will setup and configure my new router (CAX80) & keep DHCP enabled and making sure my starting IP address is 192.168.0.10, then apply the settings.I will then connect my C7000 router to be bridged. Can I apply all the settimgs at once, like Stting router mode to NO to get bridge mode, change the IP Address to 192.168.0.2, keep the sunet mask the same and then apply to restart. OR do I have to apply router mode to NO first and then restart to finish configuration for bridge mode. As you know the C7000 does not have a bullit to choose for bridging, repeater etc. You have to change router mode to NO and restart to obtain bridging mode. What will happen when you check NO on router mode and restart? Will it show the bridging bullit to check and apply after restarting? Your help will be greatly appreciated before I proceed.

To do what, exactly? Sadly, "bridge" is a term which is so broadly used as to have become almost meaningless. What is the actual problem which you are trying to solve by using the C7000 with your main (modem+)router (the CAX80)?

"connect" how? Do you mean a wireless connection, or a wired Ethernet connection, or what?

If you mean ADVANCED > Administration > Router Mode, then that would be exactly what you do _not_ want to do. That would configure the C7000 as a modem-only (one meaning for "bridge"), and you have no use for a second cable modem.
If what you want is to configure the C7000 as a wireless access point (another, sloppier meaning for "bridge"), and connect it to your main (modem+)router (the CAX80) using an Ethernet cable, then that should be possible. See, for example:
That's written for a Netgear C6300-as-WAP, but the steps are about the same for any other router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP option. (I'd expect a C7000 to be very similar.)
