How to set up lan-lan cascade with Netgear R6300v2

So, my steps are:
change the lan ip address as mentioned
turn off dhcp server
turn on wireless ap?

Do I need to have the same wireless broadcasts and/or passwords?
Is there any problem connnecting this to UDM as main router?

Thank.

  Turning on AP mode, disables the dhcp server.
  You can set them with the same ssid/password as the primary router but it won't be a seamless setup. Devices will tend to be sticky and stay connected to the wireless they initially connected to until it drops/becomes unusable.
  
  I prefer to use different ssids in this instance.

     "LAN" = "Local-Area Network", and it includes wired and wireless
  devices.

     Or, you could just employ a widely neglected resource:
  
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
  
     Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
  for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
  "Wireless Access Point (AP)".

     No.

     If "UDM" is a router, then it should work.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, nothing including the manual helped me figure out what sequence I was supposed to take. I was running in circles trying to connect pc to ap, then router to ap, if wireless ap also provided lan ap....i spent about 8 hours on it and finally got it figured out. No manual, no right up worked that I could find.
    
    if i recall, what worked:
    UDM lan to Netgear wan
    Netgear Lan to PC
    modify Netgear Lan to 192.168.0.2
    Netgear AP activated
    
    Not positive, but think that worked.
