CBR750 can you change to an access point on Tmobile 5G gateway

Can you change the CBR750 cable router into an access point? I cannot find any options on settings/advanced. Please provide exact keystrokes if you can help!

    No, you can't. 

    You can use it in modem only mode or modem/router mode. 

    there isn't an access point mode.

    You could use the CBR in a faux AP mode. Set the CBRs IP address to what the host router is using and then disable the DHCP server on the CBR. You'd connect the CBR to the host router using one of the LAN ports in back. Front LEDS will be always blinking though. Put a post It note over these LEDs.
