Which Netgear N300 model is it?

What you are trying to do is use it as a wireless bridge rather than an access point. An access point connects back to the main router via wired connectivity and provides WIFI. A wireless bridge connects back to the main router by WIFI and provides 1 or more wired connections.

You can search for your model number with "wireless bridge" to find instructions in configuring it.
