I found this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7463900

Regarding the article, it looks that you can't disable DHCP on the Airport. But you have a workaround.
You have to set the smallest DHCP range you can in your Airport and reserve a fake MAC address for each IP in the range. Then configure and enable DHCP on KeexyBox with the range of your choice. This should force devices to use KeexyBox DHCP.

Keep us informed if it works, it can be useful for other Airport users.
