How to set up my C3700-100NAS as an access point?

How do I set up my router as an access point? There are no instructions in the manual how to set up access point mode on this model. Your help is much appreciated.

       I'd try the procedure at:

     

          https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1463500

     

       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.  (Especially similar for another Netgear Cxxxx.)

       It's not a feature on Cxxxx models (or many older routers).  But that
    might not be a fatal obstacle.
