Router/Repeater application

I am presently using a WNDR4000 wireless router located in the basement. I have a wired GigE switch located 2 floors up from the basement. Can I attach a WNDAP350 access point to the switch located 2 floors from the router, configure the AP exactly as the router (WPA-PSK, with the same pass-key, which means all my wireless devices will not require reconfiguration) and have it operate transparently without loss of bandwidth or thru-put?

Thanks,
Dan

    been two devices are connected via CAT5 so there is no performance drops

    not sure how it will work if you device to uses SAME SSID but none the less this is more of testing "you" need to do and find out.
