R6100 as Wireless Bridge
I'm looking to use my old R6100 to extend my wifi without using wires. I updated the firmwware to v1.0.1.28 and there is an option for Wireless Bridge. I want the R6100 to connect to my main router wirelessly. I don't see documentation with the Wireless Bridge options as I see it on the screen. I also want to use security, I hope it has it.

Wireless bridge is different than wireless repeater.
In bridge mode, it can connect to the router but it doesn't rebroadcast.
You can use it as a repeater but only if you disable wireless security or use WEP. I wouldn't go that route as its not secure but if you choose to, see the manual, page 88 for instructions.
