RBR/RBS10 Mesh wifi

Hello all. I have an Orbi mesh wifi setup. Comprising RBR10 and 2 RBS10 satellites. My question is regarding dhcp. If I disable dhcp on the RBR10 does the mesh system then just act as wifi repeater/signal booster and leave dhcp the my ISPS router?

Thanks in advance

Rob

    Yes. There should be a AP mode setting though under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings for that.

      So I need to disable router mode and select AP instead so it just emulates the existing wifi correct?
