How to disable DHCP server?

Yes, I know... Press on the D to disable...
But I rephrase my question, how to disable the DHCP server on my Mikrotik Wap ac and maintain a fully working network, because when I disable the DHCP server, devices that are trying to connect, don't seem to find the DHCP server on the router (Archer C7) and got no IP address. Do I have to refer to this router in some way or so?

It sounds like you need to setup a bridge on your wAP AC. From the product page it looks like the wAP AC has a single ethernet interface and two wireless interfaces.
# Setup a bridge for your interfaces
/interface bridge add name=local-bridge
# Add the interfaces to the bridge
/interface bridge port
add bridge=local-bridge interface=ether1
add bridge=local-bridge interface=wlan1
add bridge=local-bridge interface=wlan2
Once the interfaces are bridged, your Archer device should be able to reply to DHCP requests over the wireless.

I dare not to cheer too loud, but this seems to do the trick...
Another question: what do you feel/think when you all read this kind of questions?

Feel free to cheer safely, there is not really room for error with that setup.

I just see an opportunity to help someone enjoy MikroTik and prevent some discouragement. Everyone has to start somewhere.
