Can I convert a C7000 cable modem router to a bridge/

I have several AC1900 Cable Modem Routers, that I need to convert to access points that will be attached to an ethernet cable.  I still need the wifi ability.  If I turn off the DHCP, will I then be able to use as a wireless AP, with an ethernet cable plugged like a bridge?

Turning off DHCP and using a LAN port should work.

Thank you.  It will be next week before I can try this.  I will report back.

Turning off DHCP, and using the LAN ports worked.  Now I am a happy camper.  One note, the lights on the front that denote internet connection up/down and internet, do not function now.  So just working as a wireless AP and switch.
