I am trying to set up a router as an access point but it doesn’t seem to be working. Do I need to have an Ethernet cable directly from the modem to the ap router? My house is wired with Ethernet jacks and that is the way I currently have it. But no luck on transmitting an internet signal. Any help would be much appreciated.

Which model router? Look for "Model" on the product label. Firmware version?

Not a router.

"seem"? "not working" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

You need an Ethernet cable (or equivalent) between your _router_ and your "the ap router". What is your "the modem"? (Hint: If a device has different types of Ethernet ports, then "connected to device" is not enough detail.)

See "not a useful problem description [...]", above.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for a topoc like "Set Up the Router as a WiFi Access Point".
