In theory it could be used as an access point/switch, in practice this idea is riddled with potential difficuilties.
To get it to work you would have to give the router a lan IP that is in a different range to the ones used on the LAN, otherwise you would have two devices in your network trying to act as gatways.

why would you ? (not my greatest field so I aim to be corrected) surely the STB would have to be connected to a hosting pc then that would have to serve to work at all using the router as a switch would it not? with ICS enabled the client pcs would then just share the host pcs net connection. Not ideal but imo a working theory however swapping it for a new router would be better
