When I say no connection.. I meant literately it's NOT connected via cables to anything. It just sits there in OFF position in the room by itself. I have 2 wireless N routers in the same room trying to figure out which ones to use with the printer, and a wireless modems in place of the computer (in the other room)... I want to plug the printer into the wan port of the router while my other wireless N router or wireless modem connected to the PC creates a wireless network connection.

Just plug it in via ethernet is fine....don't use the wan for it, thats for the internet...just plug in the standard Ethernet port..
