Presumably, their router is pre-configured to use dhcp, so when
wiring your router to theirs, yours should be c onfigured to use
dhcp on the WAN side. I've seen this done before and it works fine
in those cases.
As for disablinig the wifi on their router, if you can't log into
it from the wired lan, maybe you can detach its wifi antenna?
Good luck!
