R6330 bridge mode
I have an R7000 connected to a cable modem and both are working fine. I now want to use an R6330 as a bridge to several wired-only devices. When I configure the R6330 as a bridge (in advanced settings), it does not disable the radios by default. Shouldn't those radios in the R6330 be disabled just to minimize the SSIDs floating around?
Also, when I hockup the R6330, I'm getting some IP address conflicts. Not sure why that is happening since I haven't changed any settings in the R7000 and, if I understand "bridge mode" correctly, the R6330 shouldn't be acting as a DHCP server.
Thoughts on either are appreciated.

You determined this how, exactly?

I'd expect the R6330-as-bridge to use its radio(s) exclusively for
communication with the main router. Do you see it doing anything else?
Can you get a wireless device connected to it when it's in that mode?

How, exactly, is what, exactly, connected to what, exactly?

I can beat that. I don't even know what it means. What, exactly,
"conflicts" with what, exactly?

Right. It should behave as a (stupid) network switch with a wireless
link to the main router.
Does the R6330-as-bridge appear in an Attached Devices report on the
main router? Any of the client devices which are connected to the
R6330-as-bridge?
