Hello,

After days and hours trying to figure this out, i looked through many posts and videos online and nothing.
Previously i used my WNDR3400 (n600) as my only router, i had a modem from my cable company (time Warner) and i used for the main and only router then. The Modem and router were upstairs, and my TV is downstairs on opposite side of the house, therefore the signal was terrible, and always buffering on netflix movies. I recently upgraded my internet speed, and time Warner gave me a modem with the WIFI capability, therefore i would not need my WNDR3400 as main router anymore. I figured i would put this router downstairs as a repeater and would improve my connection on my TV, after many trials and fails i came across the powerline adapters, which sounds great to me, since it would be much faster than wireless, so i purchased and sure enough works great, i have plugged in on my PS3 now, so i have high speed and no more buffering, but i still have a weak signal on my other devices, so i have been trying to figure out a way to use my WNDR3400 as a "repeater or AP" for downstairs, i would plug in the Ethernet cable into it, and would plug a different cable to my ps3, so i would still be able to stream videos fast and i would take advantage of the wireless signal from WNDR3400 and this way increase the range of wireless network. I have tried to do this many ways, all failed, if i just connect the modem (WNDR3400) without any configuration, it works but it is acting as a secondary network, when im looking for a internet on my device it appear 2 of them, one from upstairs and one from downstairs, and the internet (wireless) gets lost frequently.
Can anybody help me out on this? I am not a very tech person, but i do know the basics.

My upstairs main modem/router that was provided by Time Warner is: ubee DDW3610
As i mentioned before the modem i want to use downstairs is WNDR3400 (n600)

Sorry for the long post,

Thanks guys
