HaHa. My bad.
Yes, I will be connecting the two routers using an ethernet cable which is an AP set up rahter than Bridge Mode. Never realized that until you mentioned it.
I will go ahead and close this thread out and set the second router in AP mode and manually disable the wireless signal at the time I choose.
One other quick question though, Is it Lan to Wan or Lan to Lan for AP mode setup? I see pictures of Lan to Wan but have read where Lan to Lan is used.

Netgear's official instructions state LAN to WAN. I usually advise LAN to LAN because it's faster but some people have reported difficulties logging into the AP in order to change settings. If you don't plan on changing settings often then it may not be an issue. OTOH, you may not notice any speed difference with LAN to WAN. Experiment and choose what works for you.

Thanks for all your guidence TheEther. You have really helped out a lot and I appreciate it.

I think I will go with the Lan to Lan option, make a few wireless settings changes and leave it be after that.
