The real difference between Access Point and Router??

Newbie with a new X60 three pack here. My question is, functionally, what the heck is the difference between Access Point and Router mode?
The on-line doc is rather vague.
It seems, based on limited testing, that in router mode the satellite different units pass the connection / request data to the main Deco unit directly connected to the router and on to the internet.

Seems identical results to me since I can' f find a way to sync the units in access point mode to my existing wireless network, they only sync to the network ID set up on the main unit (as far as I can determine). Which was kind of the point behind why I bought the three pack; I didn't want to have to manage TWO wireless connections. Which, in either mode, it seems I'm stuck with. And no, the existing wireless network has its particular uses so I won't be turning it off.
What am I missing?
