    Netgear WNDR4300: configured as AP via WiFi not LAN

    Hi,
    I have the Netgear WNDR4300 which is a double band WiFi router with the ability to set up two WiFi networks: one at 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/n and the other at 5 GHz 802.11 a/n. I know that I can connect it via LAN to another router or AP in order to act as WiFi extender. What about the possibility to connect it via WiFi to another router or AP in order to act as WiFi extender? For instance if I connect my Netgear WNDR4300 via 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/n to the router or AP and then I create a second WiFi with different name at 5 GHz 802.11 a/n. Is it possible with original Netgear firmware?
    Thank you

    I directly asked to Netgear forum https://community.netgear.com/t5/Gen.../983707#M59294 and they said that this functionality is called fastline and it is disabled with latest firmware for security reasons. Therefore I installed openWRT firmware and with its works perfectly and the mode is called WDS http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clientmode
