You could configure it that way, but you wouldn't want to buy one of these to be just an AP. Wait for stand-alone routers or AP's to come out, so you won't be paying the extra for the cable modem that you won't use.
That would depend on the exact chip being used in these. I believe that the 16 channel version would be the previous Intel chip. Not for certain. Most if not all of the Puma problems were addressed by firmware updates, and since there are new products, the release firmware *should* have the fix!
These are 16x4 and 24x8 modems, the Puma6 chipset is 32x8 -- so I doubt these are Puma6, which is the one that had issues, but it is pretty much fixed now, anyways. Source: I have one.

Can it be configured in AP mode? I currently have my cable modem and router behind a ubiquity edge router X.457R4LDR34DKN07 - Wednesday, September 27, 2017 - link
Never mind, I checked out the manual. Looks like it only has AP isolation.jardows2 - Thursday, September 28, 2017 - link

ALL INTEL PUMA CHIPS ARE EQUALLY EFFECTED. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/09/intel_puma...There is a aweb site keeping track of the issue that has all the info http://badmodems.com/
I dont see where this device is powered by Intel ? If I can get confirmation I will add it to the official list http://badmodems.com/Forum/app.php/badmodems

I see 'Intel Inside', is this the same Intel chipset that they have used in other high end routers that locks up and crashes if it gets a little warm?
