Currently, the router is set to receive the subnet mask dynamically from the ISP.
What I would like to do is to get wifi from the router upstairs, but utilizing the splitter in the basement, get hardwired connection through the modem. So essentially, I'd be getting wifi and hardwire conenction from the modem via splitter.

Check with your ISP for modem / router modem combo documentation. Not sure what you mean regarding splitters, but if all you want to do is add more wifi connectivity in your home, configure the R7000 as an Access Point, then Ethernet connect the R7000 into your switch, or one of your Ethernet ports in your home. i provided a link to the R7000 documentation, in my original post
