I’d like to turn my Raspberry Pi 3 model B into a WiFi access point which uses DHCP and other configurations given by the router, and exclusively acts like a dumb access point, providing entry to the network. Every guide I’ve come across for building said project sets up a DHCP server on the Pi, and uses NAT & IP forwarding between the different interfaces to make it work, but this only creates a new network inside the original one. I would like to have my Pi be like a commercial access point, just plug it in and create an entry point to the network. Thank you in advance ;)

PS: I’m using Raspbian Stretch Lite Kernel 4.9

You can do this by using hostapd and bridging network interfaces.

While you don't mention the distro, the general instructions are the same.

FYI the wifi dongle you use must support AP mode for this to work.
