WNDR3400v3 setup for access point

I have a WNDR3400v3 I want to use for an access point. 

I need to know exactly what cables to connect where and how to get into the router interface for the WNDR3400v3 (routerlogin.net does not let me in)

Please use the terms "main router" and "AP router" and explain which posts to connect to.  Pictures would help very much.

Do I need a second computer?

I have spent many hours searching how to do this but nothing is clear enough.

Thank you!

    Did you already click on "access point" mode in the router? 
    If so, log into the main router (primary) and look at its attached devices list. It should have the IP address for the WNDR and you can use that to log in and access it. 

    In terms of wiring, simply take a ethernet cord from the primary routers lan port and plug it into the wndr's wan port.
