Running two routers (one from ISP) should I disable dhcp on the 2nd router?

I've already put their router into bridge mode to avoid a double NAT. It's an Arris AIO from Spectrum, my second router is an RT-AC88U running stock firmware. Just wondering if this will create a conflict having the second router's dhcp enabled.

Yes, I would disable the DHCP on the second router and set it up as an access point unless you need a second isolated network, in which case I can give you the setup instructions.

If the ISP/primary router is in bridge modem, then it is only acting as a modem, not a router. And so you should connect your own router's WAL to a LAN port on the ISPs modem+router (again, now acting as only a modem) and *enable* your router's DHCP server. If you don't, the clients behind your own router won't get configured for the network.
