Bell HH1000 Modem to Router to AP, will all LAN ports work?

It's probably a dumb questions but tonight I'm going to setup an AP (ac66u). It's my first time setting up an AP so I want to ensure I do things properly.
My current setup is a Bell HomeHub 1000 modem in bridge mode connected to an R7000 in PPPoE that is flashed with MerlinWRT. I am adding an AC66U (also flashed with MerlinWRT) tonight.
From my understanding, I connect both routers via LAN ports and then enable AP mode on the AC66U? That's all?
All LAN ports will still work (aside from the HH modem)? Also what about channels? Does the router configure all of this automatically? I want to have the same connection name and password so that it picks up the strongest signal and connects to it without any interference.. possible?
