I believe you wouldn't want to use WDS in any case. My understanding
is it can eat up to 1/2 your bandwidth in overhead. It sounds as
though what you really want to do is use the router to bridge from the
wired ethernet to the wireless LAN. In this mode it would be
functioning not as an access point but as one of the clients (?)
connecting to the Netgear WAP.

Don't know if/how you would set this up.
