AP (Access Point) mode requires an Ethernet connection to the main router. You may be thinking of a range extender, which is different.
- But it says in the settings of the router that you can wireless connect it to anothet router so that the one connecting to another router can be used as a wireless ap

Also the router doesn't have a Ethernet in port on it...Are you talking about the C3700? It has two Ethernet ports.

If you want to set up the C3000 as a wired Access Point, then you can use either Ethernet port.
- Ok can I use it as a wireless access point
Sorry if my prior answer wasn't clear. No, you cannot use it as a wireless access point.
- Ok thanks for the help
