yes you can and I do this for my house. My main router is upstairs and doesn't quite cover the entirety of downstairs so I have got a second router downstairs (wired) running in access point mode. I don't know about Netgears but Asus routers have all sorts of quirky features if you want to take a look at them. If you want to do a proper job and futureproof you can also look at Mesh wifi and maybe get a combo back of 2 new routers. You used to be able to get two Asus ac68u's for a very very good price.
