I believe the DG834PN is an ADSL router - it won't work directly with
a cable modem. You need a cable router. You could either dump the
DG834PN and replace it with a wireless cable router or get a wired
cable router and try and futz the DG834PN to work as an access point.

The DHCP service on the cable modem is a red herring. Only when you
have two routers on your network will you need to disable one of their
DHCP servers.
