Best way to setup a wireless bridge R6100 with C7000
I have a Netgear R6100 Wireless AC router thats laying around. I would like to put it to use. My main router is a two-in-one Netgear C7000 modem router. What's the best way to connect the R6100 to the Nighthawk SSID? There are a few options in the Wireless Bridge settings. In order to use WEP, I would have to enter 4 encryption keys. Currently, it's connected, but only in Wireless N mode. My main router has the same SSID for both N and AC bands. I have tried this numerous ways, by selecting the 5 gig radio option in the R6100 bridge settings and it doesn't connect. The only way I can get the R6100 to connect to my main router is in 2.4 mode. There are 5 connection options in the R6100 bridge mode settings. I wanted to use WEP, but I have no idea where the encryption keys are in the C7000. There's a pin or a push button.
