I think all you do is turn off DHCP and assign it an IP.
I don't know the details about your equipment, YMMV etc, but routing and
DHCP are two unrelated functions.
A router doesn't have to run a DHCP service to be a router.
An access point CAN run DHCP and NOT be a router.
Most SOHO routers will usually run a DHCP server but its not related to
the actual routing process so turning off DHCP and assigning static
adresses will not stop the routing process.
If you only connect a "local" port on it and don't use the WAN port that
might not be a problem though.
