So here's what I want to do:

Right now I have a wireless network set up with a Netgear R6300v2. I have an old Motorola NVG510 laying around and I was hoping to setup a bridged wireless connection between the two routers and run cables from the NVG510 to my devices. Is this possible to do with the NVG510? I've looked around but I can't seem to find any guides that use my setup, do what I want, or go into any depth.

No

DSL modem/routers are very limited devices and unless you can flash something like DD-WRT to it you are stuck with the very little it can do.
At best you could make it into an access point (difference between AP and Birdge is that AP has Ethernet input, bridge is WiFi input).

I would get a av500 (or better) powerline network adapter and a simple Ethernet switch. This will be better then wifi anyways.
