Actual static (configured on the device itself), or reserved dynamic (configured on the DHCP server (on the main router))? Either one qualifies as "fixed" (reliable, and so on).
The easy way might be to reserve a dynamic address for the R6900P-as-WAP in the DHCP server of the R6900P-as-router. (ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup : Address Reservation.)
If you start assigning actual static addresses to gizmos, then you should shrink the DHCP pool to keep those static addresses out of the DHCP pool. (It's ok with me. I do it.)
A static address for the wireless access point was the option you passed up when you didn't choose "Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended)".

Sure, but which ones bother you? I'd guess that the LAN IP address is what you want to fiddle, and that that one (and its friends) should be active. (ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup : LAN TCP/IP Setup on the R6900P-as-WAP.) Note that, although you may be using the WAN/Internet (labeled) port on the R6900P-as-WAP, in this WAP mode, it's really all-LAN, so its _LAN_ IP address (et al.) is the one of interest.
Worst case: reset the R6900P-as-WAP, start again, and choose the "(not recommended)" option, but you shouldn't need to do that.
