How do I turn off client wifi on EX8000 range extender?

In other words, I just need the extender to wirelessly connect to my primary router's wifi and provide wired ethernet connections only. i.e., a client bridge. I do not see a way to use the extender without extending the wifi.

Well it still needs to use the signal to connect back.

And it doesn't have a "bridge" mode. 

so you're a little stuck. 

If users are connecting to it, simply change its broadcast ssid/password so it doesn't.

The question was posted before it was known that the device can be used in a mesh with a single SSID. Device was donated.
