R7000in bridge mode

Thank you. I guess I’m a bit hazy on the terminology. I switched recently from a DSL to a microwave ISP. This is quite a large house so I put in an R8000 and ran a wire from the basement to the attic. The R 8000 wi - fi is in the basement and the R7000 is now in the attic providing wi-fi (with different names) for the upper part of the house. I thought this was called bridge mode but I may be using the wrong name. The R8000 is acting as the router and I was trying to establish if I can use the ports on the R7000 or if in this mode it is suitable for wi-fi only. I think you have answered that the ports are still live and can be used.
