WNDR3400v2 can this be used as an extender for Hughes net HT2000W?

I am using Gen 5 Hughesnet, the modem (HT2000W) has a built in Wi Fi but I am wondering if I am able to use my Netgear WNDR3400v2 as an extender in our house. And if so does it have to be connected directly to the modem or will it pick up the signal my hughes net Wi Fi sends out and send it further as long as it is plugged into an electrical outlet.

       Firmware version?

       If only there were some kind of document for this device which might
    describe its capabilities and how to use them...

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "Advanced Wireless
    Settings" and "AP Mode", and Wireless Repeating Function (WDS).
