I linked my Netgear to another router set up as AP (LAN-LAN port) but when I scan the IP range ( using nmap in Linux), there is no IP address for my Netgear router, so I cannot access it.
It's not what the router assumed. In its normal router mode, I'd expect it to use its default LAN IP address. Which might make little sense in this situation. Hence the special as-WAP mode. If you choose the default option ("Get dynamically from existing router"), then you should get what you expected. As explained in the User Manual.
Did I remember to suggest consulting the R7800 User Manual?

And how, exactly, did you specify the LAN IP address of the R7800? Or were you expecting the R7800 to use DHCP to get its address from (the DHCP server on) your (unspecified) main router?

Other than not reading the R7800 User Manual, and following the instructions there? Perhaps not much. Except that the R7800 might not be sending a DHCP request through its LAN interface.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point".

That is what I assumed. Just trying to update the FW via this way
