It's called a _wireless_ access point because it provides wireless
access, not because it uses a wireless connection to the main router.

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point Only". Note the suggested wiring
scheme, as well as the device configuration.
