How do I connect to internet with WIFI not with Ethernet using R7000 Nighthawk

I want to replace a router that is not physically near my ISP provider router and therefore cannot use Ethernet. My current router allows me to use WiFi to do it, using something called WISP. I can't seem to find anyway to configure the R7000 to do that. Is there a WISP like function for the R7000? Thank You.

The R7000 only supports router, AP or wireless bridge mode.

There isn't a function for that in stock firmware. If you want to look around, some of the 3rd party firmwares for it support wisp mode. 

It'd void the warranty and you'd need to ask on those forums for help but its something you could check into if you've already got an R7000 and need that function.

Unless you try Powerline Ethernet to use the main circuit as a network.
