RAX78 AP Mode - Disable DHCP?

I am using my RAX78 in AP mode and I need to disable DHCP. Everything seems to be working fine but I'm told that I should disable (true?). The LAN SETUP option is greyed out under ADVANCED > SETUP > LAN Setup. Does having my router in AP mode automatically disable DHCP or do I need to take me router out of AP Mode, disable DHCP, and then put it back in AP Mode?

I am connected to a CAX30 with Wi-Fi disabled.... THANK YOU!

In AP mode, dhcp is automatically disabled. 

 

Why disable the wifi on the CAX? You could simply put it on a different channel (to prevent interference) and a separate ssid. 

Then the devices close to the CAX could be attached to that and the ones closer to the RAX be on it. It'd offload a little burden from the devices and wireless.
