What is needed is way to configure via an ethernet connection (at the

Without the wireless router at the bottom of the mast becoming too friendly

I'm guessing that the correct sequence of events would be to
disconnect the bottom router, connect a PC to the ethernet cable,
configure the top bridge, acquire an access point, unplug the PC and
replace with the bottom router. The bottom router could be
preconfigured to use a different channel than the connected access
point.
