Connect R8000 to internet via Wifi

I have a Wifi AC and N netwerk in my house and need to connect a number of devices that do not have WiFi capability themselves. So I am wondering if it is possible to configure a R8000 to connect to my LAN (and via that to the internet) via Wifi instead of its WAN port.

      You don't need to be that clear. Leave me some hope. :-)

      Thanks for the answer.

        NB: I have figured out that the technical name for this setup is a wifi bridge or wireless bridge.
