No Access Point option in Archer C1200 V2

Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hardware version: Archer C1200 v2.0
Firmware version: 2.0.0 Build 20170206 rel.46023 (EU)
In the website of http://www.tp-link.com/us/download/Archer-C1200_V2.html there is a video link about "how to turn router into an access point", but the video shows an option called "operation mode", but my TP-Link Archer C1200 V2 hasn't this option.
I have got my TPLink Archer C1200 with DHCP disabled works like a Access Point, using only wifi and switch ports and configuring the LAN ip address with an ip address from my local network.
The problem is there is a local network connection but no internet connection because there is no option to setup a gateway for the local network. I suppose that in "access point" mode it will be possible, but no with my current firmware.
what can I do? there is no other firmware version?
Thanks in advance.

Latest firmware supports ONLY US models, not EU, thus it does not apply.
Setting DHCP off is useless since the router requests a different subnet (ie 192.168.2.1 instead of 192.168.1.2) than the main router/modem. This way the router2 (ac1200) is not within the DHCP list of the modem/router1 (VR400) and it gets stuck twice a day = non functional.
Open to any other suggestions.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

That is an IP Address not a Subnet...... the subnet is like 255-255-255-255 or 255-255-255-0 etc and it should be set under LAN to exactly the same as the Main Router .
I set the IP address to one number higher than the Lan address of the main Router , they cannot be the same (IP Conflict) so I set main router 192-168-0-121, secondary Router 192-168-0-122 , both on subnet 255-255-255-0
secondary Router is plugged to LAN port 1 of the main Router ...do not use the WAN port.
secondary Router has DHCP OFF , the Main Router needs to do this otherwise you will likely get what is called "Double-Natting" Errors
