R6700 AP config quest

When in AP mode on this router, in the guest network section I noticed the box to "Allow Guests to see each other and access local networks" is checked and grayed out.

 

Is this because in AP mode while a device connects wirelessly to the AP, because the AP connects to the Main router via ethernet the connection is actuallly to the direct wired network consequently access can't be blocked?

 

Also in AP mode does it pass the DHCP request on to the main router, or does the AP assign IP addreses to connected devices?

 

Thanks.
