Dave,

You should be able to plug it into your switch, set up the router to obtain
a LAN IP address using DHCP and away you go.  The WAN part is only used if
you are plugging the router into an ADSL modem or a cable modem.

Quick question though - if you aren't going to use it as a router why not
just buy a wireless access point instead?
