Connecting an apple router as secondary to a netgear.

I have a netgear router and modem. They are in my office, however i want to connect an ethernet cable to my xbox in another room. My idea is to connect an apple router as a secondary in the office next to the netgear, and then use a airport extreme in the other room to connect straight to the xbox.

I've run into a few problems. I cant seem to just turn off Dhcp, it only lets me put it in bridge mode which doesnt seem to connect to the airport extreme. Also do i need to change the ip adress to be in the range of 192.168.1.1 to connect to my netgear?

Overall i want an ethernet attached to my xbox without running a long cable through the hallways. Any ideas?
