That it can act as a WAP doesn't mean it can act as a wireless bridge.
Things like the netgear hardware is meant to give a wired network a
wireless access point for mobile systems.

e.g.
Internet -> Modem -> Router -> Switch -> WAP and other systems.

IIRC you want something to do

Internet -> Modem -> Router -> WAP <---> Wireless Bridge -> Switch ->
Computers...
