I am currently using a Netgear router and would like the Westell to act as a repeater to boost the signal.  Is this possible to do and how?

The Netgear WNR834B can work as a repeater. The Westell 7500 must be the primary router to do this though. Ideally, what you should do instead of repeating a Wireless signal is to use Ethernet to the second router, either through a direct cable run or a MoCa/Powerline Link and set up the Netgear as an Access Point only. You'll maintain Wireless speed and you won't have to deal with WDS.
