How do I use my WNDR3400 modem router as a router only
My internet provider has 'upgraded' my line to a vDSL and have sent me a new modem/router as my wndr3400 stopped working. The wireless router the ISP has sent is rubbish and so I want to use my exist...
Yea you can turn that router into an access point. You have to disable the "dhcp" and change the Ip of the router to something within the IP parameters of your current router. Look up on youtube "how to set up my router as an access point" and look at a few videos and you'll be able to see what you need to do to your router to make it an access point. Also when you set it up as an access point the ethernet cord coming from the main router has to be put on one of the four LAN ports on the back of the wndr3400.

Almost any wireless router can be configured as a wireless access
point, but the how-to details depend on how it's done. Much of that
advice does not apply when using a WAP-mode option on a Netgear router.
And, without an accurate model number, it's tough (for some of us) to
provide (accurate) guidance.
For a router which lacks a specific WAP mode option, you might see,
for example:

That's written for a Netgear C6300-as-WAP, but the steps are about the
same for any other router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP
option. If the router which you're reconfiguring has a WAN/Internet
Ethernet port (unlike a Cxxxx), then leave it unconnected.
Or, you could try to find a movie.
